PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- After missing his team's first practice for a personal reason, Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Peko announced Thursday evening his wife, Giuliana, was diagnosed with cancer back in June.
"Some may know and some may not but my wife was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma about a month ago," Peko said Thursday in an Instagram post.
A day later, Peko was at St. John Fisher College for Bills practice -- at Giuliana's request.
"This is how I support my family, this is the way I take care of her and my kids," Peko told reporters Friday.
