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,the former 49ers and Stanford coach, 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.

HUTCHINSON HAS SURGERY >> Aidan Hutchinson is likely done playing this year because of the leg injury he sustained against the Cowboys, but surgery to repair his fractured tibia and fibula “went great” and Lions coach Dan Campbell said he isn’t ready to declare his star pass rusher out for the season.

Hutchinson was carted off the field Sunday in the third quarter of Detroit’s 47-9 win over Dallas and had surgery at Baylor White Medical Center.

“The surgery went great — it is all good news,” Campbell said.

Hutchinson’s leg appeared to snap above the ankle when it collided with the left leg of teammate Alim McNeill as Hutchinson was pulling Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott down for a sack.

TAGOVAILOA EXPECTED BACK >> Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to play again in 2024 after being diagnosed with his third concussion in two years earlier this season.

Coach Mike McDaniel said that Tagovailoa had “positive” meetings with neurologists during the Dolphins bye week, though he remains in concussion protocol and on injured reserve.

“I do expect to see him playing football in 2024,” McDaniel said for the first time since Tagovailoa’s injury, “but where that is exactly, we’ll let the process continue.”
