Dolphins' Kendrick Norton has arm amputated

Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Kendrick Norton has had his arm amputated following a car crash, his agent has confirmed.

Norton's involvement in a "serious" accident was revealed on Thursday by the Dolphins, though they offered no details about the severity of his injuries.

We were made aware this morning of a serious car accident involving Kendrick Norton. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kendrick and his family during this time.

Agent Malki Kawa then posted on Twitter that Norton "suffered multiple injuries, including the amputation of his arm".

"We ask that you continue to pray for him," he wrote. "His family also asks that the public respect Kendrick’s privacy."

Miami claimed Norton off waivers from the Carolina Panthers in 2018.

He was placed on Miami's 53-man roster and expected to compete for playing time this season along the defensive line.
