Hopefully when they say he'll return next week, they mean he was grazed and can start practicing again next week...

Pro football players might be wise to just stay out of clubs and bars for the duration of their careers. An awful lot of negative stories about them seem to start in those locations.

I think it's unreasonable to expect players to stay out of clubs/bars. Yeah, you hear a few stories about bad things that happen. I have a feeling these bad instances happen a very low percentage of the time that players go out, though.

100% agree. Not that this was his fault, but they have bad luck in clubs and bars. But it seems to be the lifestyle pro athletes like. More practice, less booze and dope.

Lol, true, but the booze didn't always have to be involved.
