Lawrence Taylor Battling Pancreatitis

Lawrence Taylor remains in the hospital as he receives treatment for pancreatitis, multiple sources tell TMZ Sports … but the good news is the Hall of Famer is showing signs of improvement every day.

We broke the story — the 67-year-old New York Giants legend was taken to the emergency room at a New Jersey medical facility last week before being transferred to a different floor.

Those familiar with the situation told us it wasn’t a life-threatening situation … and there was hope he would be discharged relatively soon.

LT’s longtime agent and friend Mark Lepselter declined to comment on the diagnosis … but told us “Lawrence is getting better every day and is looking forward to getting back on his feet.”

Pancreatitis — the inflammation of the pancreas — can be caused by another of things … but gallstones and alcohol use are the most common.

Taylor has been outspoken about his alcoholism and other drug use over the course of his career … but has been focused on recovery in recent years.
