ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Head Coach John Fox is on the road to recovery.
Feeling light-headed on a Charlotte golf course Saturday led to the coach undergoing a successful aortic heart valve replacement Monday morning. But before that, he made sure to get in touch with the Broncos' team captains.
"He called all the captains on Saturday and Sunday to kind of tell them what’s going on," quarterback Peyton Manning said. "He wanted me to make it known that after he got light-headed and sort of semi-fainted he did chip it to two feet and made par on that hole. He wanted that to be known. So that tells you Coach Fox’s attitude and personality and obviously he’s in our thoughts and prayers. Like (Executive Vice President of Football Operations) John Elway said, it’s his health and his long-term health – that’s the number one thing of importance right now.”
Interim Head Coach/Defensive Coordiantor Jack Del Rio said he hasn't had a chance to speak with Fox directly since the surgery, but he knows that he is doing well.
