Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor has been hospitalized with a non-life-threatening stomach issue, according to his attorney. The condition appears stable, though no discharge date has been determined.
Attorney Mark Eiglarsh released a statement on Monday confirming Taylor has spent a week in the hospital under medical observation. Taylor is showing signs of improvement, Eiglarsh noted.
"Lawrence asks that I convey his sincere gratitude to everyone who has been thinking of him and keeping him in their prayers during this challenging time," Eiglarsh said, via the Associated Press.
Taylor, who turns 67, is a two-time Super Bowl champion, eight-time All-Pro selection, and the 1986 NFL MVP. He played his entire 12-year career with the New York Giants from 1981 to 1993, during which the team retired his jersey number, No. 56. In 1999, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
