Indianapolis Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez to have cancerous tumor removed

INDIANAPOLIS -- Rigoberto Sanchez will miss an unspecified amount of time to have a cancerous tumor removed, the Colts punter announced on Instagram on Monday.

"So grateful to be surrounded by doctors that helped me catch the cancerous tumor before it spread all over my body," Sanchez wrote on Instagram. "... Unfortunately, there are things you can't control in life and this is one of them. No plans or preparations would have gotten me ready for this kind of adversity, but like I told my wife, we can't flinch ... Makes me sick that I'll have to miss some time playing besides my brothers, but I know they will hold it down.
