Jim Kelly’s scans show no evidence of cancer

Jill Kelly gave an enthusiastic double thumbs up on social media Wednesday.

The wife of football legend Jim Kelly reports that his just-completed MRI and CT scans show no evidence of cancer.

However, the former Bills quarterback is “still working through major pain management.”

Kelly is less than a month removed from a follow-up procedure for oral cancer, and about four months out from major surgery that involved rebuilding his jaw.

Last week at his annual football camp at St. John Fisher College, Kelly told reporters he would soon head to a New York City hospital for tests because “something came up.”

“I want to make sure everything that is going on, is going on for the right reasons,” he said. “Just like anybody, if you break your leg or anything, you're going to have to have checkups."
