:( Poor Jesse has had his share of problems since joining the NFL. The man from down under will be in my thoughts and prayers - happy to hear the Seahawks will be behind him as he fights on.

Wow man I really hate to hear this. I really pray that they can isolate it and remove it. He sounds like he has a good plan to fight it. Jesse, you're in my prayers brother.

My dad lost a kidney due to cancer. Not sure what Jesse's is but my dad's was a tumor right in the middle of it. They said the safest course was to take it out thus leaving the tumor undisturbed. Hope and prayers for the big Aussie.

Wish the best for him. It would be great to see him be able to make a comeback even if very brief. With his work ethic I'm confident he will beat this challenge as well.

His health is the most important thing in his life. Far more important than football.
I amazed by this. So young. Prayers and best wishes from the bottom of my heart. Go Jess!

Jesse Williams trying to complete 'remarkable' comeback after cancer surgery


Defensive tackle Jesse Williams hasn't been able to practice with his Seattle Seahawks teammates so far during training camp because he's on the NFI list. Usually, NFI stands for non-football injury. But in Williams' case, it stands for non-football illness.

The former Alabama standout was diagnosed with papillary type 2 cancer in May and had a kidney removed later that month. For all of Williams' determination to return to the football field, no one knows if that will ever happen. But the Seahawks want him to have that chance.

"This is remarkable that Jesse's this close at this time," Seattle coach Pete Carroll told reporters. "He's got to get in football shape. He's missed two months of workout stuff, so he's got to get back in football shape. He'll have some more evaluations done here soon, but there is a chance that Jesse can make it back and play, and it will be just remarkable if that happens. He's busting his tail to get that done, and we're pulling for him every step of the way."

For all his questionable acts Carroll has had moments of compassion that make it hard to totally hate him. This is one such occasion.
