    It previously was reported that Foster likely would undergo a heart procedure in about a month.

    "As of now, I have no complications with my blood pumper," Foster said in a statement. "There was a casual conversation with a reporter about my particular condition that turned public. But I have not, nor do I plan to anytime in the near future, have conversations with my doctors about any surgery. I am feeling well and am as exuberant as ever."

    Foster has had an issue with his heart since he was 12 years old and has had about eight incidents during which his heart began to race uncontrollably. Foster also had to exit a Week 16 game against the Minnesota Vikings because of an irregular heartbeat.
