Buffalo punter Evan Finegan received a surprise phone call from Joe Theismann after suffering a gruesome leg injury similar to that of the former Redskins star.
Finegan told the Detroit Free Press that he was being transported from a hospital when Theismann called him.
"He was very worried," Finegan said. "He wanted to know all of the details."
Finegan broke his fibula and tibia in his right leg on Sept. 7 in a game against Penn State. Nittany Lions running back Journey Brown attempted to block a punt by Finegan and the two met in a collision which caused the punter's leg to bend awkwardly.
