On Thursday, Saints HC Sean Payton told reporters that DT Nick Fairley has received two medical opinions regarding his heart issue, per Josh Katzenstein.
The first said he should no longer play football, but Fairley is waiting on a third opinion before making and determination about his NFL career.
Payton stressed that the most important thing right now is Fairley’s well-being and added that there hasn’t been a final decision regarding his future, per Katzenstein.
Last week, a report surfaced that Fairley had been absent from the team’s OTA practices because of heart trouble that could jeopardize his NFL career.
