Bears legend Steve McMichael is improving after a staph infection led to a stint in the intensive care unit at a Chicago-area hospital this week.
McMichael's wife Misty McMichael wrote in a statement shared with the Associated Press on Sunday that his family is hopeful that McMichael will return home from the hospital on Tuesday.
“He’s one tough guy,” Misty's statement reads. “He’s Mongo and his DNA is different! Keep those prayers coming! Thank you!”
McMichael was admitted to the ICU on Thursday with suspected pneumonia, according to a previous statement from his publicist.
