Jim Kelly has battled valiantly against health issues for quite some time but, in recent days, it came to light that he is, once again, facing a significant challenge.

Following that, Kelly continued to battle and seems to have been doing well but, on Friday, Kelly's daughter revealed that he was forced to have his gallbladder removed. (h/t the Buffalo News)

At this time, further details are not available but, as with previous times, the NFL world and all who know the family send well wishes and prayers in their direction at this time.
