On Thursday, FOXSportsWisconsin.com ran a story that indicated former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jesse Whittenton, who died earlier this week at age 78, had suffered from Alzheimer's Disease.

On Friday, his family informed FOXSportsWisconsin.com that information was incorrect.

We extend our apologies and condolences to the Whittenton family and regret the error.
