Sucks...glad he's not on my team

SARASOTA, Fla. -- No fingertip? No problem.

A day after he lost the tip of his left middle finger in a 31-7 road loss to the New Orleans Saints, Arizona Cardinals safety Rashad Johnson said he may play Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Johnson can pinpoint the play when the gruesome injury happened but has no idea how it occurred. However, playing amateur detective, Johnson believes the finger didn't get caught in a face mask or stepped on by a cleat because his glove wasn't ripped or torn. He thinks the finger was driven into the turf at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and snapped off.

Johnson broke away from a blocker to help bring down Saints running back Darren Sproles on a punt return with 5:24 left in the first half. After the play, Johnson remembers his hand being numb. On the game film, Johnson saw himself kneeling, looking at his hand, and he remembers blood coming out the glove.

Cardinals trainers cut off the left glove to find his middle finger severed just above the knuckle with exposed bone. The rest of Johnson's finger, including the nail, was still in the glove.

He underwent surgery Sunday night. Doctors shaved down the bone in the finger to prevent infection and stitched up the wound. There were no plans to reattach the finger, and Johnson's injury may take a few weeks to heal.

Same as your finger in a football match.

I can't recall who he is, but I remember reading about a baseball player who hit a homer and jumped up near the perimeter fence to high five some fans. His wedding ring got caught and he either skinned himself to the bone or lost the whole damn finger!
