Jets punter passes stress test, likely for Sunday

Published Jan. 12, 2010 12:00 a.m. ET

New York Jets punter Steve Weatherford has passed a stress test and should be fine for Sunday's playoff game at San Diego.

Weatherford missed last weekend's victory at Cincinnati because of a rapid heartbeat. He says he will require a surgical procedure after the season. He also had surgery when he was 16 for the problem.

The 27-year-old Weatherford says the condition is related to "the electrical setup of the heart" and has nothing to do with physical exertion.

He underwent tests Monday and practiced Tuesday.
