Miami football legend Michael Irvin Sr. tested for throat cancer

Michael Irvin played for the Miami football program from 1985-87. He still holds the Hurricanes record with 26 career touchdown receptions. Irvin is fourth in Miami history with 143 receptions and third with 2,423 yards. Irvin had tests done this weekend in a Los Angeles hospital after he has lingering throat problems from last fall.

Irvin stated in his Instagram post that the problems with his throat began when Irvin’s Dallas Cowboys upset the New Orleans Saints in November. The problems in Irvin’s throat according to the playmaker persisted for two months after the Cowboys big win over the Saints.
