Saskatchewan Roughriders punter Jon Ryan has been diagnosed with skin cancer. 

Ryan made the announcement on a Saskatchewan based podcast earlier this week. He said he'd be fine after a minor surgery. 

He said he's gone once a year to a dermatologist to get a full body scan to get checked out, and he had a mark on his neck that they were concerned with. Ryan said last year they froze it and then it grew back even bigger. 

The surgery has been pushed back due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

In addition to his football career that took him to the Super Bowl with Seattle, Ryan also played net for the Moose Jaw Midget AAA Warriors over 20 years ago.
