    Former Kansas City Chiefs running back and current Iowa football commentator Ed Podolak is recovering after he was hit by a car while crossing a street in Scottsdale, Ariz.

    "My dad remains in stable condition in a Scottsdale area hospital," his daughter, Laura Pololak, said in a release. "He continues to undergo minor surgeries to repair his injuries. He is alert and remains in good spirits, but is requesting privacy."

    Police in the Phoenix suburb say the 63-year-old Podolak was not inside a crosswalk when he was hit Sunday. They say the driver of the car that hit Podolak tried to brake but couldn't stop fast enough.

    A police report says Podolak was taken to a Scottsdale hospital with what are described as non-life-threatening injuries.

    Police said Tuesday that the investigation is ongoing.
