Report: Giants TE had portion of foot removed, will not return

New York Giants tight end Daniel Fells will reportedly never play football again, and it sounds as though he is fortunate to be alive.

According to Jason Cole of Bleacher Report, Fells has already had five procedures on his foot in an attempt to fight off a MRSA infection. One of the surgeries involved removing a portion of the 32-year-old’s foot, which has put an end to his NFL career.

However, football is likely the furthest thing from Fells’ mind at the moment.

“Doctors have, in fact, advised Fells that he may lose the foot to avoid a blood infection that would go throughout his body,” Cole reported.
