Former Oregon WR Jaylon Redd Had Surgery in January After Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosis

Former Oregon wide receiver Jaylon Redd underwent surgery in January after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

"Now that everything’s over, this is my time to look forward with my career and what I want to do right now," he said to The Oregonian's Aaron Fentress.

Redd suffered a season-ending injury last November. While recuperating after Oregon's loss to Utah in the Pac-12 title game, the 23-year-old checked into a hospital due to stomach discomfort. Doctors performed additional testing, which revealed a cancerous tumor in his pancreas.

Redd scheduled his surgery for Jan.
