A moment of silence in remembrance of a finger

[DaBear]

Specifically, Rashad Johnson's now missing finger tip. I'm sure y'all heard about how he lost the tip of his middle finger in a freak play this past weekend. For the daring, he posted pictures of the injury. Click at your own risk: http://deadspin.com/rashad-johnsons-severed-finger-is-absolutely-disgustin-1374866448

I've seen many replays of the play and still cant figure out for the life of me how in the heck that managed to happen

How do you not realize you lose a fingertip?

He thought he had just broken or dislocated the finger. He found out otherwise when the fingertip didn't come out with the rest of his finger. The only thing that would make any sense to me with the play, is maybe when he went for the wrap up his fingertip got caught in the belt loop of the other player and the force of himself and the other player going opposite directions just sliced it right off.
