• Tight end Foster Moreau, currently a free agent, said this week that he is stepping away from the game to battle cancer.
• The 25-year-old had played his entire career with the Las Vegas Raiders but only learned about the cancer diagnosis when he visited another team after becoming a free agent.
• “Through somewhat of a miraculous process, this Free Agency period has been life changing for me,” he wrote on Twitter. “During a routine physical conducted by the Saint’s medical team down in New Orleans, I’ve come to learn that I have Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and will be stepping away from football at this time to fight a new opponent: Cancer.”
