Saints DT Nick Fairley Placed On Reserve/Non-Football Injury Due To Heart Condition. Out For 2017

[Saca312]

For the Saints, it's another off-season of injury and woe. Nick Fairley adds to that as his heart condition appears to be something more serious than originally thought:

Hate to see this for any NFL player.

Suck for him and suck for them....he was a stud last year for them and still in his 20's.

as much as it hurts, I just want Fairley to be able to live a long life after football

[Captain Morgan]

wow

[Lemory]

That's a bummer, he was a good player. 

[uncfan888]

Damn. I hope he's able to get it corrected or retires before it does permanent damage. 

[Cj72]

That really sucks. I hate to hear that for any player

i think he's going to retire

I spent a good amount of my teenage years near Mobile/Pritchard, so I've always followed the careers of players like Fairley, Jamarcus, and Boogie Cousins. Fairley at times has been dominant. Hopefully he's able to resume his career, and he heals up.

Hate it for Nick, love it for the Saints.

Hope Nick recovers and can live a long life. I hope the Saints implode and move to Fort Smith, Arkansas.

What he said.

These heart condition things are serious. I remember when Rich Peverly of the Dallas Stars literally died on the bench and had to be brought back to life with a defibrillator. Even more recently Cheick Tiote known for his play with Newcastle and the Ivory Coast, died in training of a heart attack.

It just goes to show you that know matter what type of specimen you may be, heart disease doesn't discriminate.

This goes beyond football. I hope he retires and lives a long, healthy life.
