via ABC Action Sports:

New Orleans Saints star Marcus Davenport is healing after getting part of
his pinky amputated.

On Wednesday, Davenport told reporters that he had the top portion of his
left pinkie finger amputated during the offseason, the Associated Press
reported.

Davenport told the AP that he tore ligaments in the finger while playing at
UTSA. He's had procedures on the finger throughout his playing career, but
in the latest procedure this year he had a plate inserted after breaking
one.

An infection occurred which led to the amputation, the news outlet reported.

Davenport, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, said this
won't be a setback.

He's also recovering from right shoulder surgery.

This won't be the first time an NFL player has played without a finger.
