According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Washington coach Ron Rivera has been diagnosed with a lymph node cancer that is “very treatable and curable.”
The news broke on Thursday night, with Rivera reportedly undergoing a self check, which diagnosed the cancer. River is reported to have let his team know about the situation on Thursday night, and he is going on to see a number of specialists and establish a plan to take care of this.
Rivera, who is in his first year with Washington, has reportedly been setting up a ‘Plan B’ with his fellow coaches in case he is to miss some time for treatment, but the plan is business as usual, according to Schefter.
