Former Las Vegas Raiders tight end Foster Moreau revealed Wednesday afternoon that he has been diagnosed with cancer.

He learned of the diagnoses following a physical when the New Orleans Saints medical team told him.

“Through somewhat of a miraculous process, this Free Agency period has been life changing for me. 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. I’m grateful for the support and thankful for people who have stood firm with me. There hasn’t been a single step I’ve taken without hundreds of people lighting the path before me, and I will continue to seek their guidance. That being said, I’ll go kick this thing’s ass and get back to doing what I love! AMDG!” Foster wrote on Twitter.

Many sent their well-wishes to Moreau following his announcement on Twitter, including the Raiders and former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby.

So did many of this teammates.

Raider Nation and fans hope for the best for No. 87.
