He’s facing one of the biggest, off-field battles of his life. But Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank said Tuesday he plans to beat prostate cancer, and his prognosis is good.

“In December I was diagnosed with a treatable form of prostate cancer,” Blank said in a statement on Tuesday. “Over the last several weeks Angie (Macuga) and I have visited a number of expert doctors and hospitals across the country to identify the best treatment options for me.”
