New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Jake Haener said he's been diagnosed with skin cancer. The 25-year-old player did not disclose what type of cancer he has but said that it's rare to see it at his age. "It's not going be like a life-threatening thing right now," said Haener, who was sporting a small bandage on his face during Friday's practice session. Haener said he will have a consultation with doctors Thursday of next week to determine the next steps. "I have to get a different procedure done on my face," he said. "So we're just trying to take the necessary steps in order to see how long I can wait until I have to get that procedure done." Haener said he first noticed something was wrong when an "odd-looking bump" formed on his face and continued to grow. A biopsy done the week before camp revealed that it was cancerous. "I was kind of worried about it; my family was kind of worried about it," he said.
