Pro Football Hall of Famer John Madden is at home recovering from open heart surgery.
Here are three takeaways:
1. Mr. Madden won the Super Bowl as the coach of the Oakland Raiders before becoming a fixture on NFL broadcasts. He is co-chair of the NFL Player Safety Advisory Panel with fellow Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott, and is chairman of the Coaches Subcommittee to the Competition Committee.
2. Mr. Madden was released from a San Francisco hospital on Wednesday after having surgery recently.
3. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Mr. Madden sounds great, but is frustrated about being on injured reserve for the time being, and is anxious to return to action soon doing the important work he does for the game.
