Solder was diagnosed with testicular cancer during a standard offseason physical workout program. He complained of pain around his testicle and doctors recommended an ultrasound. Three days later, he had surgery to remove his testicle.

Solder was hesitant to be portrayed as overcoming cancer. He played every game in 2014 while he was recovering. He revealed the disease to create awareness because April is National Testicular Cancer Awareness Month.
"I knew nothing about it. It was a complete surprise. You Google something like that and it kind of scares you, so I was like, I'm not going to freak out about this. Had I not had a routine physical, I probably wouldn't have checked it," said, Solder.
