Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano is expected to miss several weeks of action after being diagnosed with a "serious" illness, according to Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star.
The stunning news comes after Pagano reportedly felt unusual fatigue in recent weeks, and then went to get blood tests during the Colts' bye week. NFL.com and NFL Network's Albert Breer confirmed with Pagano that he has a treatable form of leukemia.
"Will be back REAL soon," Pagano wrote to Breer via email.
A press conference is scheduled for Monday at 10:30 a.m. ET, where the team will give more information on the illness. Pagano will miss this week's game against the Green Bay Packers at the very least.
"We're very optimistic about his recovery," a top official told Kravitz.
Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians will take over as Pagano's head coach. We'll have more on the story throughout the day on NFL.com and NFL Network.

ESPN Radio had me way ahead, first Kravitz broke the news that he had a serious disease live on Mike and Mike. Not even a half hour later, Mort broke it that he had leukemia before it hit twitter or anything.
Regardless, sad stuff, good luck to the man..get back to the sidelines ASAP breh.
