Arizona Cardinals safety Rashad Johnson suffered a grotesque and freak injury in Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints. After trying to make a tackle on running back Darren Sproles during a punt return he injured his finger. He then went to the side line and took his glove off only to find that part of his finger was still inside the glove.
Fans were hitting up Rashad Johnson for a picture of the finger. This morning, Johnson said that it probably wasn’t something you’d actually want to see.

Finally Johnson gave in and decided to post the picture to his Twitter account. Fair warning this is graphic and not for the squeamish.

If there is anything to say about this, it is that Rashad Johnson is one tough guy. Not everyone has been tweeting him asking for photos though, some have offered words of encouragement and Johnson showed his appreciation.
