Super Bowl champion and former NFL linebacker Bryan Braman is "in the fight of his life" after being diagnosed with a "very rare" form of cancer. 

Braman, who helped the Eagles defeat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII to bring the Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia, was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, according to a GoFundMe campaign set up on his behalf in February. 

The fundraiser did not mention what form of cancer Braman was diagnosed with, other than describing it as "very rare," but stated that he would need to undergo an "extensive 12-week treatment program" in Washington.

Braman's agent, Sean Stellato, told KPRC 2 that the 38-year-old former NFL player "is in the fight of his life," but was hopeful that he would beat the cancer. 

"At Stellato Sports, Bryan Braman has always stood for strength, resilience and leadership," Stellato said. "He is a pillar and a staple of the underdog. Now, in the face of cancer, he embodies those qualities more than ever. If there is one person that I know that can beat cancer, it is Bryan Braman, who I have always considered family.

"He's in the fight of his life. Please support Bryan and keep him in your prayers."

The latest update on the fundraiser from last month stated that Braman had undergone "CAR-T cell reprogramming treatment." While initially showing signs of being effective, the organizer of the fundraiser said that "the cancer has grown exponentially faster, and is now growing around his vital organs."

Braman spent the majority of his seven-year NFL career with the Eagles. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Houston Texans in 2011, where he played for three seasons. He signed with the Eagles in 2014 and rejoined the team again right before the playoffs in 2017. He would go on to register one tackle in their Super Bowl victory. 

The fundraiser for Braman raised over $70,000 by Saturday.

More than two dozen kids from the all-girls private camp, Camp Mystic, remained missing Saturday after catastrophic floods hit the area Thursday into Friday.

Here's what we know about the camp:

---

• Mystic Camp is nestled in Texas' Hill Country, along the banks of the Guadalupe River, which on Friday reached the second-highest height on record in the unincorporated community of Hunt. The campsite is surrounded by cypress, live oak and pecan trees, per the camp's website.
• Roughly 700 kids were at the camp when flooding began, according to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who said about 23 girls were unaccounted for as of Friday afternoon.
• Campers Lila Bonner and Janie Hunt, who were both 9 years old, and 8-year-old Sarah Marsh have been found dead, per CNN.

Flashback: Founded in 1926 by University of Texas coach Edward James "Doc" Stewart, Mystic Camp is a nondenominational Christian camp for girls who have finished second grade.

• It was purchased by another family in 1939 and has been operated by descendants since, per its website.
• "In the Mystic spirit, their goals are to boost every camper's self-confidence and to nurture the development of their individual character," the website says of the current owners, Dick and Tweety Eastland.

Zoom in: Camp Mystic offers over 30 activities including many sports, arts and crafts, theater and more.

• The camp offers two 4-week terms starting in May and a 2-week term in late July.

What we're watching: Authorities continue search and rescue efforts.

Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Nick Castellanos had some words with fans after the team’s 9-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday at Citizens Bank Park. 

As the camera panned to the Phillies' dugout after the final out, Castellanos was shown standing on the top step, gesturing towards the crowd and yelling towards a fan. 

Jace Kaleikau, a producer for the Phillies, who witnessed the interaction, said Castellanos was sticking up for second baseman Bryson Stott, who made the last out of the game.

Kaleikau said the fan "crossed multiple lines," while yelling towards Stott in a post to X. 

Stott entered the game in the eighth inning to replace Edmundo Sosa and grounded out to second base. With a man on first and two outs in the ninth inning, Stott came up to bat again and popped out to Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte to end the game. 

Stott has struggled this season, as the second baseman has a .236 batting average with five home runs and 35 RBI. Castellanos is one of the clubhouse leaders for the Phillies, as evidenced by the right fielder sticking up for the 27-year-old Stott.

Castellanos has been a key bat in their lineup, as the right fielder has a .278 batting average with 11 home runs and 49 RBI. However, while Castellanos is a good hitter, he is a subpar defender in right field.  

The Phillies started out fast, as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. The Phillies’ 3-0 lead quickly vanished as the Reds scored six unanswered runs, highlighted by a five-run third inning.

Despite the loss, the Phillies have a half-game lead over the New York Mets in the NL East.  

The Phillies (51-37) will look to rebound against the Reds (46-42) when they play the second game of their three-game series on Saturday at 4:05 p.m. ET.
