Saints TE Foster Moreau provides huge update on his battle with Hodgkin Lymphoma
On Monday evening, Foster Moreau gave a positive update on his current state, saying that he is in full remission from Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Former Las Vegas Raiders tight end Foster Moreau signed with the New Orleans Saints in free agency this off-season.
On May 10, 2023, Moreau agreed to terms with New Orleans on a three-year deal. Upon joining the Saints, Moreau discovered that he had Hodgkin's lymphoma after some physical tests by the Saints' medical team.
After almost two months of recovery and rehabilitation process, he took to Twitter to address his health and give an update to his fans. He wrote:
"After a few tumultuous months, I’ve been blessed with the news that I am in full remission from Hodgkin Lymphoma! I’m so grateful to everyone who reached out to offer their love and support; our prayers were answered. From here I will continue to live my life as God intended AMDG."

The Saints TE had earlier decided to step away from the gridiron in wake of his health condition. The immune system of the person affected with Hodgkin's Lymphoma becomes extremely weak and unable to guard from infections.
Moreau will be entering his fourth NFL season at the age of 26 years old. In his three seasons with the Raiders, he's recorded 91 catches for 1,107 and 12 touchdowns.
Foster Moreau is looking to make an impact on the New Orleans Saints' revamped offense
After signing a $12 million contract that included $8 million guaranteed, Foster Moreau is looking to have a role in the new-look New Orleans Saints offense in 2023.
In the off-season, the Saints signed Derek Carr (Moreau's former QB) to be their franchise quarterback for the next four seasons as he signed a $150 million contract with the team.
New Orleans also added running back Jamaal Williams, who led the league in rushing touchdowns last season with 17.
Wide receiver Michael Thomas will help out with Derek Carr as he will enter the 2023 season healthy after battling injuries for the past three seasons.
Moreau will be competing with tight end Juwan Johnson for the starting spot. As of right now, Johnson is ahead of Moreau on the depth chart via ESPN.com.
Johnson is coming off the best season of his career, posting 42 catches for 508 yards and seven touchdowns.
The Saints will have a good tight end duo in Johnson and Moreau, and could have a top-10 offense in 2023 if fully healthy.
