After being cancer-free for several years now, Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly announced on Thursday that the oral cancer that he was first diagnosed with in June of 2013 has returned.

Kelly and his family released the statement on social media.

As our family has faced many trials and triumphs throughout the years, you have blessed us with your prayers. We are asking for those prayers once again. The oral cancer we hoped would be gone forever has returned. Although I was shocked and deeply saddened to receive this news, I know that God is with me.
