METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport had the top portion of his left pinkie finger amputated this offseason after breaking a plate from a previous surgery and experiencing an infection.
Davenport, who also had surgery on his right shoulder in January, is hoping to be healthy by training camp. But the finger issue threw an unexpected wrench into his timetable.
Davenport said his pinkie finger has been a nagging issue ever since he first tore ligaments in it during his junior year at Texas-San Antonio in a 2016 bowl game.
