QB Jake Haener is diagnosed with Cancer
New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Jake Haener announced Friday that he's been diagnosed with a rare form of skin cancer. Haener wore a small bandage on his face during Friday's training camp practice, but told reporters that it's not a "life-threatening thing right now." Still, he said that this form of cancer is rare to see at 25 years old.
The second-year signal-caller out of Fresno State said he noticed a bump on his face that continued to grow. A biopsy revealed that the bump was cancerous. Haener has a meeting with doctors next week to determine what will happen next. more below. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/s...e-skin-cancer/ | |

Prayers for him… and the spotlight just got turned up a bit to the beads of sweat on Derek Carr’s helmet.

Re: QB Jake Haener is diagnosed with Cancer
It's probably squamous cell carcinoma. It can kill you. I had it and they told me to get my affairs in order. The surgeon at UAB said "You're dead. You just don't know it because you're still up walking around". I looked at him and said "You can't kill me. I play rugby"!
As a young man I had no idea that I needed sunscreen. I have around ten skin cancers removes each year. But, I'm still here and happily fighting the good fight. ![]() |

Re: QB Jake Haener is diagnosed with Cancer
Supposed to be back at Wednesday practice. It doesn't seems to be anything serious, but usually old guys like Rugs and I deal with it after decades of unprotected exposure. That's apparently why they said it was "rare" for a young guy. |

Re: QB Jake Haener is diagnosed with Cancer
I hope this still allows for competition for the backup QB spot. He looks like he put the work in this offseason. I like the young gun but Rattler is rapidly growing on me.

Needing the common procedure at such a young age was what made it "rare", but no more or less serious from what I understand.![]()
And agree on Rattler. |
