Steve Weatherford to Have Heart Surgery Again
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2010 1:57 am
New York Jets punter Steve Weatherford(notes) has passed a stress test and should be fine for Sunday’s playoff game at San Diego.
Weatherford missed last weekend’s victory at Cincinnati because of a rapid heartbeat. He says he will require a surgical procedure after the season. He also had surgery when he was 16 for the problem.
The 27-year-old Weatherford says the condition is related to “the electrical setup of the heart” and has nothing to do with physical exertion.
He underwent tests Monday and practiced Tuesday.
