Ron Rivera – 1, Cancer – 0!!!
The Washington Football Team head coach is officially cancer-free Thursday … this according to Rivera’s daughter, Courtney.
As we previously reported, Rivera was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma back in August … just one month before his first season as head coach of the WFT.
Being the badass he is, 59-year-old Rivera remained with the team throughout his 7 rounds of cancer treatment — and never missed a game during his battle.
Rivera spoke about the toll the meds had taken on his body during the season … saying the fatigue he’s experienced felt like a “300-pound gorilla on your back.”
