On his 96th day after a heart procedure ended his season, Bengals right tackle Jake Fisher got cleared Thursday and he celebrated by going back into the gym and clearing the big heavy weights.
“I’ve been working with lighter ones, but now I’m back to off-season workouts,” said the relieved and resolute Fisher. “You have to be conscious of it. You have to monitor it. But you still have to live life. You can’t let it cripple you in any way.”
Fisher is the first active Bengal anyone can think of that has been treated for Atrial fibrillation, which is a rapid, irregular beating of the heart spawned by abnormal wiring of the upper chambers that affects about 5 million Americans, according to various web sites.
