‘Fragile’ label doesn’t really fit Danny Amendola – Sports – The Boston Globe

Enjoyed this one with a closer look at Danny Amendola and the preconceptions about his injury history.

That’s why the “fragile” label bugs Amendola so much. Yes, he has played only 16 games once in four NFL seasons (he also played in all 14 games after being signed by St. Louis off Philadelphia’s practice squad in Week 3 of 2009). It’s not as though he refuses to play on sprained ankles or with minor dings. His injuries have been freakish and painful.
