Packers Legend Diagnosed With Stage IV Glioblastoma — One of the Deadliest Brain Cancers; Packers Nation Urged to Pray

 

 Posted February 10, 2026

Green Bay, WI — Packers Nation is coming together in prayer after learning that former Green Bay Packers star Dorsey Levens has been diagnosed with Stage IV glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive and incurable forms of brain cancer. The diagnosis has sent shockwaves through Wisconsin and the wider NFL community.

According to his family, Levens’ condition has worsened significantly in recent months. He is currently confined to bed and receiving palliative care, with doctors focused on easing pain and preserving comfort. His wife shared a heartbreaking update:

“He can no longer move on his own and depends on medication just to endure each day.”

Beside him at all times is a powerful symbol of his life and legacy —


the Green Bay Packers jersey from the final season of his storied career.

“That Packers jersey never leaves his side,” his wife said quietly. “It represents his heart, his pride, and the way he always fought — no matter the odds.”

Dorsey Levens’ legacy in Green Bay is unforgettable. Drafted by the Packers in 1994, he emerged as one of the most explosive and reliable running backs of the Brett Favre era, becoming a cornerstone of the offense during the franchise’s championship years.

Levens was a central figure in the Packers’ Super Bowl XXXI victory, rushing for over 1,400 yards in the 1997 season and setting franchise records that still stand as benchmarks of excellence. His speed, balance, and fearlessness made him a nightmare for defenses and a fan favorite at Lambeau Field.

Known for his toughness and work ethic, Levens played through injuries and pressure moments, always answering when Green Bay needed him most. That same fighting spirit now defines his battle off the field — far from stadium lights, but no less heroic.

As his family asks for privacy, Packers Nation continues to rally — sending prayers, gratitude, and unwavering support to a man who gave everything to the green and gold. This is no longer about stats or Super Bowl rings, but about standing with one of Green Bay’s own in the fight of his life.

💚💛 Packers Nation, please keep Dorsey Levens and his family in your prayers. Once a Packer — always a Packer.

Eagles Announce $1.2 Billion Luxury Tower Project as Philadelphia Prepares for a Dramatic Transformation
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania – The city of Philadelphia is stepping into a bold new chapter after the Philadelphia Eagles officially unveiled plans for a $1.2 billion luxury tower to be built adjacent to Lincoln Financial Field. The entire $1.2 billion investment will be funded through a partnership led by the state and city of Philadelphia, underscoring a major public commitment to reshaping the South Philadelphia sports complex into a year-round economic engine. Preliminary renderings reveal a 70-to-75-story ultra-modern glass tower designed to immediately redefine the city’s skyline. The structure will feature reflective panels illuminated with midnight green and silver LED accents. “PHILADELPHIA EAGLES” signage and the iconic eagle logo will crown the top of the building, visible across the skyline and Interstate 95, serving as a bold statement of civic identity. But the project is far more than a luxury high-rise. Plans include premium residential units, a five-star hotel component, a rooftop sky lounge overlooking Lincoln Financial Field, and a large-scale conference center. At street level, developers envision a redesigned fan plaza with massive LED screens for watch parties, official team retail space, themed restaurants, and a “Legends Walk” honoring Eagles greats—turning the area into a destination 365 days a year. “This is about more than football. This is about economic growth, job creation, and redefining what South Philadelphia can become,” a city official said during the announcement. The statement quickly sparked conversation across the region, with supporters applauding the ambition while others questioned the scope of public investment tied to a sports-adjacent development. Economic analysts project that construction alone could generate thousands of jobs, followed by hundreds of permanent hospitality, retail, and operations roles once the tower opens. City leaders believe the development will boost tourism, increase tax revenue, and stimulate additional investment throughout the broader stadium district. Across the NFL, franchises have increasingly embraced mixed-use entertainment districts around their venues, but Philadelphia’s $1.2 billion public-backed commitment positions this project among the most aggressive civic developments in the league. In this vision, the Eagles are not just a team—they are the anchor of a larger urban renaissance. When completed, the glow of Lincoln Financial Field’s stadium lights reflecting off the tower’s glass façade will symbolize more than architectural progress. It will represent a city doubling down on its identity, ambition, and future. Philadelphia may soon feel—and look—entirely transformed.
