Former Saints standout and Pro Football Hall of Famer Rickey Jackson underwent a successful surgical procedure Wednesday morning at a New Orleans hospital and was in recovery, former Saints trainer Dean Kleinschmidt said Wednesday afternoon.

“Everything went well, as expected, and Ricky is out of surgery and in recovery,” Kleinschmidt said, relaying a message from Jackson’s daughter, Rickeyah, who was with her father at the unidentified hospital.

“Rickeyah really wanted to thank fans and friends for their prayers and support and has asked that everyone please respect the family’s privacy at this time,” said Kleinschmidt, who served as the Saints' head athletic trainer during Jackson’s entire playing career with the Saints from 1981 to 1993.

Kleischmidt did not provide details of Jackson’s procedure or indicate why Jackson required surgery.



Via his Twitter account, former Los Angeles Rams standout and fellow Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson requested “prayers for my good friend Ricky (sic) Jackson (who) is having brain surgery this morning. Ricky (sic) will overcome this adversity and prevail."


Jackson underwent surgery for prostate cancer at Tulane University Medical Center in 2015.

My all time favorite Saint. Best wishes big man.


Y'all remember when he would wear the coonskin cap after games? According to Pat Swilling, he was absolutely the only guy on the team who could get away with that.
