While reports ;to the contrary abound, it’s not yet 100 percent confirmed that ;New York Giants tight end Daniel Fells has had part of ;his foot amputated, although he does remain ;hospitalized with ;a potentially life-threatening ;infection.
Bleacher Report NFL Insider Jason Cole reported Monday ;that Fells had had a portion of his foot removed, as doctors tried ;to stop the infection from spreading. ;According to Cole’s source, ;“the situation” is ;far more serious than initially thought ;and ;the 32-year-old’s career on the football field has ;officially ended. ;
While there ;is ;legitimate concern ;that the staph infection ;may reach Fells’ bloodstream, ;Giants beat reporter Jordan Raanan rejected Cole’s claim. ;
Fells is believed ;to have been infected after receiving a seemingly routine cortisone shot from team doctors. Hospitalized for nearly two weeks now, Fells has seen his 104-fever go down in recent days — a sign that his body may be reacting positively to the latest dose of antibiotics, according to Raanan.
The tight end was able to Skype ;with his teammates a day after their victory over the San Francisco 49ers. ;They ;dedicated their win to him and his recovery — well wishes that were reciprocated on Monday on Fells’ Instagram. ;
