The New Orleans Saints are still awaiting more medical opinions on defensive tackle Nick Fairley, who has an enlarged heart that is putting the future of his career in jeopardy.
Coach Sean Payton said Thursday that Fairley has already undergone three examinations with heart specialists, and the team is awaiting an opinion from the third exam before determining the best step to take with the 29-year-old.
"The first one was one that advised that he shouldn't play football again," Payton said after organized team activities. "The second opinion was a little different, and he's ... already gotten a third opinion.
