Kendrick Norton's Medical Bills to Be Covered by NFL After Arm Amputation
The National Football League informed Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Kendrick Norton it will cover expenses related to the amputation of his left arm following a car crash last week.
Malki Kawa, Norton's agent, provided the update Tuesday to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.
Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Norton was involved in a two-car accident Thursday that caused his truck to hit a concrete barrier and roll over onto its roof. Paramedics were forced to amputate his arm in order to safely remove him from the vehicle. He also suffered other non-life-threatening injuries.
