Updating previous reports, New Orleans Saints DE Marcus Davenport (finger) had part of his left pinkie amputated in the offseason after breaking a plate from a previous surgery and suffering an infection. Davenport said the pinkie has been a nagging issue since he first tore ligaments in it during his junior year in college. After it became significantly bent over time, he finally had it surgically repaired in 2021. But then he broke the plate that was inserted this offseason and had three more surgeries, ultimately resulting in the amputation. Davenport doesn’t believe it will affect his performance, noting that he had already learned to adjust to the bent finger.
