Chargers’ Jim Harbaugh provides Week 16 health update

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh had nothing but positive things to say when asked about his heart condition ahead of his team’s Week 16 showdown against the Denver Broncos.

Harbaugh, who suffered a medical scare during a game against the same Broncos earlier this season, said he is still taking medication to keep his heart in the right rhythm and confirmed that an ablation could still be in the future this offseason .

“So far so good,” Harbaugh said. “I have been taking medication to keep the heart rate at a good level.”

Harbaugh visited a cardiologist after the scare earlier this season and had to wear a heart monitor for two weeks while taking medication. At that time, he had also confirmed that he had been struggling with cardiac arrhythmias for years.

While it was obvious the questions would arise given the opponent and the amount of time since the medical scare, it’s just good news to hear that there are minimal concerns for Harbaugh on that front at this time.
