Getty Images(METAIRIE, La.) – The New Orleans Saints have fired team orthopedists Deryk Jones and Misty Suri after they misdiagnosed an injury to cornerback Delvin Breaux.
The pair had originally diagnosed Breaux’s fibula injury as a bruise, but it was later discovered that he had fractured the bone.
Breaux has a history of injuries and while the team believed he could have played through some of them, the team did not release him after learning of this misdiagnosis, according to the New
Orleans Advocate.
Jones and Suri have worked with the team for a number of years and have also done work for the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans.
