INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez didn’t know what to expect.
He wasn’t dealing with a sprained ankle or jammed finger, an injury he knew he'd recover from quickly so he could be back on the field handling punting and kickoff duties for the Colts.
Hearing the doctors found a cancerous tumor was something different.
“Your mind starts thinking and playing games, thinking the worst,” Sanchez said Wednesday. “At the same time, I try to tell myself, 'You’re going to be OK. Everybody has your back.'”
