Washington Football Team lead coach Ron Rivera has been determined to have squamous cell carcinoma, the group affirmed in an announcement on Thursday night.

The group additionally posted on Twitter on Thursday night, “We love you, @RiverboatRonHC. We’re all with you, Stephanie, Christopher, and Courtney.”
Jason Wright, as of late named leader of the group, tweeted, “Adding my prayers for health to the innate strength and deep resilience in @RiverboatRonHC’s body, mind, and Spirit.”
