The New England Patriots announced the death of their team physician Dr. Mark Price on Sunday.

Price has served as the Patriots’ chief physician and medical director since 2016 and used his expertise to help the franchise win two Super Bowls during his tenure with New England.

In a statement, the Patriots cited cancer as Price’s cause of death.

“His contributions to the health and well-being of our players were invaluable and his commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of his job,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said in a statement.

Before joining the NFL, Price was a captain in the U.S. Navy Reserve and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his service in combat operations in Afghanistan.

Price also worked as an orthopedic surgeon at Mass General Brigham Sports Medicine and graduated from Harvard.

“His efforts extended beyond the football field, impacting countless lives through his medical practice and community involvement,” Kraft continued.

“We extend our deepest condolences to Dr. Price’s family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched and the lasting impact of his work,” Kraft concluded.

With Price as team doctor, the Patriots participated in three Super Bowls and won two of them.

Price was born in 1972 and was in his early 50s at the time of his death.
