Grey Cup winning quarterback Anthony Calvillo says he will undergo surgery in the next few weeks to have a lesion in his throat removed.
Calvillo says doctors found the lesion after he was hurt in a game against Winnipeg earlier this year.
He says they told him biopsy results on whether it was cancerous were inconclusive, but they told him he could finish out the year.
He says the surgery will see half of his thyroid gland removed.
If the tests come back as being benign, Calvillo says he could be ready to play football next year.
