Rams HC Jeff Fisher discussed their decision to waive sixth-round pick WR Bud Sasser on Thursday, due to a heart condition that was discovered.

โ€œWe did some extensive studies after the draft,โ€ Fisher said. โ€œTheyโ€™re very extensive, as you can imagine, and it was determined and concluded by numerous physicians that he had a pre-existing condition that we donโ€™t feel will allow him to play. . . .

โ€œHe was a non-Combine guy and that happens sometimes. Our team physicians, outside physicians, other specialists recommended that he not play. It was a pre-existing condition. We agreed to terms. He got a signing bonus. Weโ€™re just going to see what his future holds.โ€

Meanwhile, Sasser’s agent,ย Scott Thield, mentioned that his client should still be able to play as there are others in the NFL with the same issue.

โ€œHe has a very small case of the diagnosis given in St. Louis, he is at little to no risk,he should be able to play,โ€ Thield said via theย Columbia (Mo.) Tribune. โ€œThe doctor told Bud he in fact knows there are others in the league playing with this same issue.โ€
