they just said it on Mike and Mike that he has a serious illness. been feeling unusual fatigue wise had some blood work done doctor expects a full recovery. Bruce Arians will take over as the interim head coach until Pagano gets back- Mike and Mike on ESPN

[TubaGuy]

Arians will take over head coaching duties in his absence. There will be a press conference this morning with his doctors present...

[HungarianColtsFan]

Sounds bad... Really bad!

I wish fast and full recovery to Mr. Pagano!

[indycar]

Well.. this sucks.

Get well Coach Pagano, what time is the presser?

[Indyfan4life]

Hope he is okay. That's all we need now is to lose our HC, especially in a tough game against Green Bay.

[HtownColt]

press conference with his doctor later on today. Kravitz said Pagano will definitely miss the Packers game and likely the Jets game. Kravitz on Mike and Mike now. Kravitz also said that he heard this when Kravitz was out to buy a new car and somebody at the dealership "that knows a guy that knows a guy that works where Pagano had his blood work done told him this". Irsay already addressed the team this morning.

Mortensen says Pagano has Lukeuimia a very treatable version he was diagnosed with last week, Doctors told Pagano expect him to miss 6 weeks. He has been on lockdown in ICU since wednesday in a Indy hospital

[ColtsBlueFL]

Prayers for Pagano.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Mortensen- Pagano has treatable form of leukemia. Could be in hospital for 6 weeks!

[indycar]

Mort on M&M says he is diagnosed with treatable form of Leukemia.

Chris Mortensen via twitter:

Chris Mortensen ‏@mortreport

The "serious illness" that has hospitalized #Colts coach Chuck Pagano, as has been reported by Indianapolis Star, is leukemia, per sources.

Chris Mortensen ‏@mortreport

Pagano's leukemia is considered "very treatable" but he is in isolation at Indianapolis hospital during this treatment.

Must be CLL. Not good news.

My prayers goes to Pagano and his family. I can really understand what they are going through.

[IndyTrav]

Lukemia.....out 6 weeks.

They say its treatable though.

[cmgww]

Mort reporting it is leukemia...a very treatable form of it, but cancer nonetheless. Said he could miss up to six weeks minimum. Also said Pagano had been feeling fatigued all summer, but had been bruising easily, which alarmed him. Wow. This puts things into perspective. My prayers are with him and his family.

[ColtsPacersfan]

Mortensen- Pagano has treatable form of leukemia. Could be in hospital for 6 weeks!

. Hope it all goes well. My prayers and thoughts are with him! Glad its treatable though. Praying for you Coach!

[ColtsUrUs]

Get well soon coach.

[USAFHoosier]

My prayers are with him. My nephew is at Riley's for lukemia. Its a hard road no matter how treatable it is.

[John Waylon]

Good to know it's treatable.

[Thewholefnshow28]

Yeah reports like this really put things into perspective and how unimportant football really is in the grand scheme of things.

Hopefully Pagano takes all the time he needs to kick this diseases's butt.

My thoughts are with Pagano.

[jbaron04]

[vtcoltsfan802]

My thoughts and prayers go out to coach Pagano and his family.

[lollygagger8]

We're praying for you and your family Coach Pagano!

Bob Kravitz ‏@bkravitz

Sources have confirmed Pagano has Acute promyelocytic leukemia. His doctors will explain more at a 10:30 press conference.

My thoughts are with Pagano.

I wouldn't be upset if he took the rest of the season off. What a crappy birthday present! (his 52nd is tomorrow.)

[Tark The Shark]

Hate to have something like this happen to a good guy.

My prayers are going out to him and his family.

And I am sure the players will play extra hard for him on Sunday

[Fatboyslim11]

I hope he recovers nicely and comes back to coach the team .According to ESRN, he will be in treatment for a minimum of six weeks. God bless you, Chuck..

[Nobody]

He'll miss at least the next several games. Get well soon coach!

[curryfizzle]

hope he recovers fast and gets back to his normal life soon; football is so small in the big picture of life. Sad to hear, fell better Chuck!

[ColtsPacersfan]

Anyone knows if the local news or ESPN news will cover the press conf in a few minutes? I heard Coach Pagano doctor will be there along with Irsay and Grigson will talk about Coach Pagano health.

[ColtsPacersfan]

I just saw WishTV is going to have live coverage coming up at 10:30 am
