XFL cuts former New Orleans Saints kicker Garrett Hartley

Garrett Hartley took to his Instagram account (@ghartley5) and revealed to his followers about the league’s move to let him walk. This is a sad revelation for a die-hard New Orleans Saints fanbase that may have enjoyed seeing him back in action.

The reason for his release stems from a past surgery Hartley had in his neck.

Hartley said in the video that he had an artificial disk replacement surgery around his neck about a year and a half ago. He also said he has several medical personnel reminding the sports world that he can still play football post-surgery.
