off in his hand, and he was initially unaware of the severity of his injury.

his life-changing ordeal. "They're seeing what actually happened. I'm seeing
what I think happened. I'm thinking that I just broke my hand. My friend, on the
other hand, thinks my hand just went through a meat grinder or something like
that. Meanwhile you can see the panic and the fear in everybody."
Massaquoi said he was flown by helicopter to a hospital, where doctors
initially tried to save his hand. However Ozzie

amputated. His thumb was spared.

that your hand's going to be amputated."
Massaquoi, who spent four years with the Browns and has been out of football
since, credited his family and friends for helping him come to terms with the
injury.
