Steve McMichael, recently selected to join the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the 2024 class of inductees, has been hospitalized with suspected pneumonia, his longtime publicist announced Thursday.
McMichael, 66, was diagnosed with ALS in 2021 and has battled other health issues since, including sepsis and pneumonia.
The longtime Chicago Bears defensive tackle, known to friends and teammates as “Mongo,” appeared in 191 games with the Bears over 13 seasons. He began his career with the New England Patriots in 1980 and finished it with the Green Bay Packers in 1994.
In between, McMichael was a member of the famed 1985 Bears Super Bowl championship team and a two-time All-Pro.
For his career (213 games), he totaled 95 sacks, 847 tackles, 13 fumbles forced and 17 fumble recoveries.
McMichael is set to be inducted into the Hall alongside other Bears stars Devin Hester and Julius Peppers in August.
