ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 Former Buffalo Bills star quarterback Jim Kelly told reporters Tuesday that he was hospitalized after experiencing a stroke in the spring.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a little setback about a month and a half ago,\u201d the Pro Football Hall of Famer said at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Bills stadium. \u201cBut right now, I feel good. Eyesight\u2019s not great. My hearing still sucks, but that\u2019s part of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 66-year-old Kelly said recent tests were clean.<\/p>\n
He underwent a combination of surgeries and chemotherapy in 2013, 2014 and 2018 because of various forms of cancer.<\/p>\n
Kelly expressed excitement about attending the Bills\u2019 first game in their new stadium when the Detroit Lions visit on Sept. 17.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be special, not only for the players, but imagine the fans in there, how crazy and wild and loud they\u2019re going to get,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what I\u2019m looking forward to. I want to see how loud this stadium can get. And from what I\u2019ve been told, it\u2019s going to be unbelievable, but I don\u2019t expect anything less.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
