Need more proof that football is a pretty gruesome sport?
Look no further than Rashad Johnson’s finger. Or lack thereof.
The Arizona Cardinal safety took off his glove after the team’s blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 3 only to discover that his digit was missing. No…seriously. The top part of his left middle finger stayed in his glove.
Johnson’s injury happened on a punt return, tackling sproles. Not sure what happened, might have smashed in ground. #AZCardinals

No worries though. He took it like a G and underwent surgery Sunday night.
Johnson had surgery yesterday. Bone was exposed so must watch for infection.

Then, against reporter Kent Somers warnings, we just had to see this finger:
Johnson has several pix of injury on his cell phone. You don’t want to see them. #azcardinals

Doesn’t matter. We still want to see…
Y’all really want this pic huh? Lol
