    Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has been diagnosed with leukemia and has taken a leave of absence indefinitely. At 52 years of age, Pagano said that he had felt fatigued and had blood work done. While the situation is serious, a source told the Indianpolis Star that there is optimism about a full recovery. Pagano is currently in a hospital and is expected to stay there for the next six weeks. Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, formerly with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been named the interim head coach.
