Lawrence Taylor is dealing with pancreatitis, according to TMZ.
The NFL legend has been hospitalized since last week, but his health is moving in the right direction.
“Lawrence is getting better every day and is looking forward to getting back on his feet,” Taylor’s agent, Mark Lepselter, told the outlet.

When reached by The Post, Taylor’s attorney Mark Eiglarsh referred to a statement provided Monday in which he said Taylor, 67, has been hospitalized since April 20 with a stomach-related issue.
“At this time, the condition does not appear to be life-threatening,” Eiglarsh said. “He remains under medical observation and is showing signs of improvement. His discharge date has not yet been determined.”
The former Giants star suffered a medical emergency and was taken to a New Jersey-area hospital, TMZ previously reported.
At the time, sources told TMZ they didn’t believe “whatever he’s dealing with is too serious” and that he would be released from the hospital soon.
