DT Norton leaving hospital 2 weeks after crash

MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Kendrick Norton is being released from the hospital two weeks after a July 4 highway crash that led to his left arm being amputated, his agent Malki Kawa said.

Jackson Memorial Hospital confirmed he will be discharged Thursday afternoon or evening.

Norton underwent at least six surgeries to close up wounds on his left arm, but he remained with positive vibes throughout the process repeating how grateful he was for being alive.

The hope is that Norton will be able to get a prosthetic arm as he progresses to life after football.
