Now, Jackie’s daughter Erin has given the positive update that fans, players and pundits around the country have been hoping for by confirming that Jackie Mac was on the road to recovery.
Taking to Jackie’s Twitter account, his daughter writes “Thank you for the continued support for my dad, the past week has been so overwhelming for us as a family.
“He is making progress but still has a long road to recovery. We are so thankful for all the care he’s received and remain positive.”
