A week after Lawrence Taylor was first hospitalized, the Pro Football Hall of Famer is still being treated for 'a stomach-related issue,' his attorney said Monday.
The announcement was the first official news about the condition of Taylor, 67, since he reportedly arrived at the emergency room on April 20 before being admitted.
Attorney Mark Eiglarsh said of Taylor, 'At this time, the condition does not appear to be life-threatening. He remains under medical observation and is showing signs of improvement.'
A potential discharge date remains unknown.
Eiglarsh added, 'Lawrence asks that I convey his sincere gratitude to everyone who has been thinking of him and keeping him in their prayers during this challenging time.'
Considered one of the top defensive players in NFL history, Taylor was a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, eight-time All-Pro and 10-time Pro Bowl selection during his 13-year career with the New York Giants.
In 1986, Taylor recorded 20.5 sacks en route to being named the NFL MVP.
Taylor, a key part of two Super Bowl championship runs for New York, was selected by the Giants with the second overall pick of the 1981 NFL Draft out of North Carolina.
After leaving the NFL, Taylor publicly battled substance abuse issues.
