Marcus Davenport Has Pinkie Amputated
2 years agoNew Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport (finger, shoulder) had the top portion of his left pinkie finger amputated this offseason after breaking a plate from a previous surgery and experiencing an infection. He also had surgery on his right shoulder in January, but he's hoping to be healthy by training camp next month. Davenport doesn't think his finger will affect his performance on the field, as he's been dealing with it since he first tore ligaments in the finger in college. The 25-year-old has yet to play in a full NFL season in his four years, but he had a career-best nine sacks in just 11 games for the Saints last year and has 21 sacks in his four seasons.
