Giants tight end Daniel Fells remains hospitalized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, the infection that ended his season last week, and doctors have turned to a number of antibiotic treatments in an urgent attempt to curb the spread of the infection, people familiar with Fells’s treatment who were not authorized to speak on the record said Sunday.
Some of the more recently used medications appear to have helped Fells’s recovery, and the NFL Network reported Sunday that doctors were hoping to save Fells’s foot from amputation.
Fells’s situation began with injuries to his toe and ankle.
