PIT WR Sammie Coates Declined Surgery on Broken Finger, Playing with It Crooked

After a blazing start to last season, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Sammie Coates suffered a broken finger on his left hand in Week 5.

The 24-year-old didn't get surgery for the "fractures and tendon damage" this offseason, though. He showed off his mangled finger during a media session Tuesday.

"Nah, just getting the strength back," Coates said when asked if he got any treatment. "Just being a football player."
