Thursday Injury Report: Saffold Reveals Procedure on Toe

NASHVILLE – Rodger Saffold has dealt with injuries from head (or at least close to it) to toe this season.

The most recent was the toe, and the Tennessee Titans left guard said it was also the most problematic. Saffold revealed Thursday that he underwent a procedure last week to deal with an infection in the digit that cast serious doubt about his ability to play last Sunday against Detroit.

“The toe situation kind of came up out of nowhere,” he said. “Then, having to get a procedure done where I couldn’t do anything, and my decision (on whether to play) wasn’t until Sunday. … Didn’t really know where it came from. No opening point to get in. It was just one of those crazy kind of things that happened.

“That was really tough for me, having to be away from meetings all week and then still having to play a good football game.”

Saffold remains on the injury report this week because of the issue, but he was a full particiant in Thursday’s practice, just as he was a day earlier.
