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.

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.

Jimmy Buffet died of Merkel cell skin cancer.

Prayers of healing to Haener.

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.

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.

I believe this whole thing was way overblown by the media (surprise!) and shouldn't affect the competition at all. As you have shared, Rugs, several of the most common procedures in a dermatologist's office these days deal with skin cancer removal or treatment. 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.
