Daniel Fells remains hospitalized as doctors continue to treat the MRSA infection that ended his season, and medical specialists are fighting to save his foot, according to the NFL Network.
The Giants tight end, on season-ending injured reserve, had been placed in an intensive care unit and has been moved to a private room after five surgeries, with additional procedures forthcoming. The NFL Network report states as of Saturday night, doctors were attempting to fight off further infection and working to save his foot, which is at risk.
The problem arose after Fells had a toe injury, followed by an ankle injury and was treated with a cortisone shot.
