I know Nick is probably crushed with the thought of not playing anymore but we are talking about the human heart (see Hank Gathers), not a torn ACL or forearm.

I'm praying for you sir .

The Hank Gathers scenario really isn't the same at all. As long as the condition is known it can be treated. Gathers' condition wasn't known until after his death. If they had known, measures could have been taken to allow him to play safely.
