Jim Kelly honored at Miami Hurricanes' game Saturday

He's cancer-free again, but Bills' Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly is now fighting a staph infection in his bones.

Kelly told the Miami Herald he came down with MRSA, following twelve biopsies in his jaw.

Kelly says he'll get eight weeks of antibiotics and as he puts it - excellent care from his wife, Jill.

Another MRI will check for any cancer again in a couple of weeks.

Kelly was an honorary captain for his alma mater, the Miami Hurricanes, Saturday.
