Mike Greenberg’s wife gives health update on recovering ESPN host

Mike Greenberg is slowly on the mend after he underwent a heart procedure on Monday.

The ESPN host — of the shows “Get Up” and “NBA Countdown” — had a cardiac ablation and is currently recovering at his New York home, according to his wife, Stacy Greenberg.

“For those asking: Greeny had a cardiac ablation on Monday,” Stacy wrote on Twitter, where she continues to share updates about his condition amid his ESPN absence.

“Recovery is slow, he has to do nothing and believe me…. he’s not great at that!

“We both really, really appreciate all the nice messages.”

Cardiac ablation is a procedure used to correct heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) and restore a typical heartbeat, according to Mayo Clinic.

On Thursday, Stacy shared a photo of Greenberg working from the couch with his laptop on his lap.

“Recovery, day two,” she wrote.

“Or, as Greeny calls it, NFL Draft Prep. Send help.”

Stacy said Greenberg’s procedure went well in a separate tweet, and thanked those for checking in on the host.

“Greeny is home resting & everything went well,” Stacy wrote on Monday.

“He is already lobbying with the doctor to let him on the air if the Aaron Rodgers trade goes through, so that’s a good sign. He really appreciates all the nice notes you have been sending.”

Last week, Stacy hilariously documented Greenberg — who is a die-hard Jets fan — as he awaited the news of Rodgers’ decision about his playing future.

The four-time NFL MVP revealed on “The Pat McAfee Show” last Wednesday that he intends to play for the Jets in 2023.

Greenberg said on “Get Up” that he purchased champagne for the occasion and Stacy shared a photo of him with three bottles of bubbly.

The Jets and the Packers are still in conversations over compensation — with conflicting reports about Green Bay seeking multiple first-round picks for Rodgers. 

Rodgers told McAfee the Packers are “digging their heels in” trying to work out compensation for him.

“I haven’t been holding anything up,” the 39-year-old said.

“At this point it’s been compensation that the Packers are trying to get for me, kind of digging their heels in. It is interesting at this point to step back and take a look at the whole picture.”
