Former Ram Danels Fells is in the ICU fighting a staff infection. Five surgeries have been undergone already with more to come. The infection has spread to Fells's blood stream and they may have to amputate his foot.

I saw this earlier. Dreadful news. Prayers for Daniel and I hope they can save his foot.

I really hate how we've screwed up with the great gift that was antibiotics. Ruined them through mis-use and over prescription leading to resistance through natural selection in just over 100 years.

they have some brand new antibiotics developed especially to fight super-bugs like this staph infection and MRSA, BUT they are still a few years away from being used on an everyday basis.

My prayers for Daniel and his family. I hope that they can save his foot, poor guy.

Wow. That is horrible news. Hopefully the news gets better soon. Puts things in perspective. This is just a game for most of us. Sometimes we take it too seriously. There are more important things than this game.

Awful, just awful. What a tragedy for Fells and his family.

At least he was able to play for quite a number of years but, still, this is just awful.

Damn it man. Terrible way for your career to end. Let's hope he gets better from here on out. Nobody deserves stuff like this to happen.
