49ers broadcaster Greg Papa begins comeback six months after transplant

Greg Papa, a 63-year-old radio announcer for the San Francisco 49ers, is beginning a recovery journey six months after undergoing a bone marrow transplant for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Diagnosed in July 2025, Papa faced a grueling recovery process that included 78 days in the hospital, multiple complications such as pneumonia, collapsed lungs, and blood clots. Despite these challenges, he has made significant progress, having removed his oxygen tank from home and regaining some weight through physical therapy. He is now preparing to return to his role as a sports broadcaster, set to appear on NBC Sports Bay Area's 49ers Pregame Live ahead of the team's regular season games.
