What a whirlwind of an offseason its been for Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport.
According to The Athletic’s Katherine Terrell, New Orleans former first-round pick “Had to amputate part of his left pinky [finger] due to a recurring infection from a broken plate that dates back to a football injury in college. This required multiple surgeries this spring in addition to shoulder surgery.”
The NFL world reacted to the shocking news on Wednesday.
“GOODNESS,” replied sports anchor Brian Holland in all-caps.
“Excuse me, WHAT?!” asked a Saints fan.
“??????????????????????????”
“Bruh WHAT?!” laughed another NOLA fan.
“Whoa…” commented another.
The Saints traded two firsts and fifth in order to select Davenport back in the 2018 draft. Heading into the final year of his rookie deal, a big season would really help pass rusher once he hits the open market.
But, that starts with health.
