The Facts:
Usually, we hear that surgical procedures performed on pro athletes were at all times a success. When there's a complication, a public announcement rarely comes. That's precisely what happened with Finley, who underwent leg surgery after being injured on October 17 against the Redskins. "I had a second surgery," Finley told Jason Wilde of ESPN Milwaukee. "[I]t was emergency surgery."

Finley continued: "I had caught a real small infection in my knee, so I had to go in about a week ago, had to go back under and get the infection out. I was in the hospital for two days. I'm surprised nobody knew about it. I had to get all these antibiotics in me, get blood drawn four or five times a day. It's terrible. Right now, I've got this IV in my chest, a central line. ..." A small infection? An IV in his chest? Those two statements seem to be at odds. "We had to rush in and clean out the infection," Finley further explained. "I guess you could call it a staph infection, but I don't think that's what it was. But I had to rush in and they put a central line in my chest. I won't get this taken out for another month and a half. Three times a day I have to get antibiotics put through it. ..." Stay tuned. Sounds like things are under control, but we'll follow up as needed.
