If Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera isn’t able to lead the organization at any point during the year due to his recent cancer diagnosis, he plans on having defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio take his place.
Rivera revealed that he had been diagnosed with squamous cell cancer in his lymph nodes on Thursday after he had discovered a lump in his neck in July. He told ESPN that the cancer was “very treatable and curable,” but that he was “stunned” and “angry,” as he feels like he’s the healthiest he’s ever been.
