Giants Insider: Daniel Fells released from hospital

Daniel Fells may have finally turned a corner in his fight against an MRSA infection.

On Monday, the Giants tight end was released from the Hackensack University Medical Center, according to the Giants. He had been in the hospital for most of this month, ever since he was found to have contracted MRSA, a deadly staph infection, while receiving treatment for an ankle injury.

“He is improving,” a source said.

Fells, 32, had been in far worse condition in mid-October, when there was talk that the veteran tight end might wind up losing his foot to the infection.
