Tom Benson, owner of the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans, is at Ochsner Medical Center being treated for flu-like symptoms, according to an announcement from the organizations Wednesday morning.
The 90-year-old Benson was recently admitted to the New Orleans area hospital and is said to be resting comfortably, per the news release. Benson is being treated in the intensive care unit.
Benson also went to Ochsner Hospital in October for precautionary reasons after he experienced "brief weakness" following an activity-filled weekend that included the Saints Hall of Fame induction ceremony Friday night, a Pelicans victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, and a Saints win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
