Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh will have a busy start to the offseason.
He announced Wednesday that he would undergo cardiac ablation and hip replacement surgery.
Harbaugh, 61, briefly left the bench during the Chargers’ Week 6 win over the Broncos on Oct. 13. He said after that match that he had been diagnosed with atrial flutter.
He saw a cardiologist for his irregular heartbeat on October 14 and was put on treatment. Harbaugh was also placed on cardiac monitoring for two weeks to provide doctors with more information about his condition.
Harbaugh has previously had episodes of arrhythmia and underwent heart surgery while coaching the 49ers in 2012.
He’s been walking with a limp for several years, so he’s going to fix it with a new hip.
