Leave it to Jim Harbaugh to call an audible when addressing his health.
The Los Angeles Chargers coach wasn't supposed to do his Monday news conference because he was undergoing medical testing after he experienced an irregular heartbeat during Sunday's 23-16 win at Denver . Harbaugh, though, got back from his appointment with a cardiologist earlier than planned and decided it would be better to address the subject immediately instead of waiting until Wednesday.
Harbaugh said he is taking steps to address the arrhythmia he has had for many years. That includes wearing a heart monitor for the next two weeks and taking a blood thinner so his heart doesn't go out of rhythm.
It was a rare amount of detail from the 60-year-old Harbaugh, who can be evasive when it comes to addressing the status of his players. Harbaugh, who is in his first season with the Chargers, often says players are "working through it" when discussing injuries.
"For anybody that could be out there hearing this or if I'm butchering this in any way, I apologize. I'm pretty confident on this one and that I know what it is and how to deal with it. But as always, we'll trust the doctors to tell me what to do," Harbaugh said during his 20-minute session on Monday.
