This just sounds horrible! Cardinals safety Rashad Johnson revealed that he lost the top of his left middle finger just above the knuckle during Sunday’s game against the Saints.
Details after the jump…
Via ESPN:
Johnson realized the significance of the injury when he pulled his hand out of his glove and the fingertip was still in it.
He underwent surgery Sunday night. Doctors shaved down the bone in the finger to prevent infection. There were no plans to reattach the finger, and Johnson’s injury may take a few weeks to heal.
Johnson thinks the injury occurred just before halftime during a punt return by the Saints’ Darren Sproles. He is unsure how it happened and will watch game film Monday to try to get a better idea.
Johnson realized he was hurt when he looked down and saw blood coming out of his glove.
He tweeted about the injury Monday in a response to a question from a producer for “The Dan Patrick Show.”
