Brandon Marshall of Broncos has screws removed from foot

Inside linebacker Brandon Marshall will soon receive a Super Bowl ring for his stellar play last season with the Broncos. First, he had to lose a few screws. Friday, Marshall visited Dr. Robert Anderson, a well-known foot and ankle doctor in sports, to have 1 1/2 of the two screws inserted in his right foot removed.

This was a planned procedure, nearly a year to the date he had Lisfranc surgery preformed by Anderson to correct ligament damage and shifting bones. The procedure will require a month-long recovery period.

"They left in the half screw because if they take it out it will be more surgery and a bigger hole in the bone," Marshall said from Charlotte, N.
