Colts show solidarity by shaving heads

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Indianapolis Colts players have made a very visible commitment to their coach as he battles leukemia.

Players and interim coach Bruce Arians shaved their heads, and one dyed his locks orange — the color connected to leukemia awareness.

Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has been undergoing treatment for leukemia. He made his first locker room appearance since the diagnosis on Sunday , when the Colts beat the Miami Dolphins at home. His post-game locker room speech quickly spread online.

Colts owner Jim Irsay and players tweeted about the act.

Buzzed heads abound in our locker room right now in honor of Chuck!
