Marcus Davenport had people blowing up his phone this week, wishing him a speedy recovery after seeing reports that he needs thumb surgery.

The New Orleans Saints rookie defensive end was surprised to receive the calls and text messages because to him, the injury is no big deal.

"It's just something minor," he said Wednesday (June 13). "I think everybody else made it out to be a super big deal. I was practicing before (with the injury)."

Davenport even practiced Tuesday at minicamp after news broke Monday about the injury and the pending surgery.
