Former NFL offensive line coach Howard Mudd was involved in a motorcycle accident last Wednesday and moved to an intensive care unit at a Seattle hospital, according to the Indianapolis Star's Joel A. Erickson.
Erickson wrote that Mudd's wife, Shirley, has shared updates on his status. Mudd underwent orthopedic surgery on his pelvis and was slated for spinal surgery before the procedure was delayed.
Mudd spent seven seasons in the NFL as a player, earning All-Pro honors with the San Francisco 49ers in 1968. In retirement, the 78-year-old embarked on a successful coaching career that included stops with the Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs.
