The Facts:
Heiden recently underwent surgery to repair a bulging disc in his back and will be out for approximately three weeks, Heiden's agent Jack Wirth confirmed Tuesday night. "Steve decided to go ahead and do whatever procedure they had to do," Wirth said. "It was very simple, and they assured him that he could do everything in about three weeks."
