Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damond Powell Jr. was reportedly injured by gunfire while standing outside of his Ohio home on Friday.
From the Associated Press, via ESPN:
"A University of Toledo Medical Center staffer said Saturday she had no information to release about him," the AP wrote, "but police had said his injuries didn't appear to be life-threatening. Police say witnesses reported seeing three men wearing masks in a gold-colored vehicle."
The Cardinals released a statement in the wake of Powell's reported injury:
"We are aware that Damond Powell was the victim of a shooting last night in Toledo, where he remains hospitalized. We have been in communication with his family to offer whatever support and resources we can provide. We will continue to monitor and provide updates as appropriate."
Powell played collegiately at Iowa. He was one of 14 undrafted free agents signed by Arizona after this year's draft.
Per police, Powell's injuries don't appear to be life-threatening, which is good news for a 22-year-old, let alone a young football player just at the outset of a potential professional career.
