Arizona Cardinals rookie Damond Powell shot in face while at home

By Jesse Reed

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Damond Powell was reportedly shot in the face while sitting in his own driveway on Friday night.

The report comes from Fox10tv.com in Toledo, Ohio:

Per the report, the car from which the shots were fired was gold.

Powell was fighting for a roster spot in a crowded receiving corps for the Cardinals that includes veterans Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd, John Brown and Jaron Brown. In his final year at the University of Iowa, Powell caught 19 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns.

Powell’s health is the major concern at this time, and football is just a side note, however and we hope he recovers fully from his injuries.

Police are asking anyone with information on this shooting to please contact Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111.
