Jim Irsay says he’s getting over his recent health issues … revealing Tuesday he’s officially “on the mend.”
The Indianapolis Colts owner suffered multiple medical scares in the last few months — including a suspected overdose at his Indiana home followed by a respiratory ailment — but, thankfully, he said on his X page he’s now doing better.
He told his fans he appreciated all of their support as he went through his recovery process … writing, “Grateful for all the messages of love.”
The Colts first announced 64-year-old Irsay was struggling with his health back on Jan. 9 … when they said he was battling “a severe respiratory illness.” The issue was so dire, it actually forced Irsay to back out of a concert with his band.
To make matters worse for the NFL owner, TMZ Sports learned that just weeks prior — on Dec. 8 — cops were called to his Carmel home after they said he had been found unconscious with a blue skin tone.
In police documents, cops said first responders administered live-saving measures before taking him to the hospital … classifying the incident as both an “overdose” and “overdose/poisoning.”
Fortunately, it seems Irsay’s now on the road to putting it all behind him … adding a heart emoji to his Tuesday message.
