Update On Jags Richard Collier-Leg Amputated
Update on Richard Collier, Jacksonville Jaguars player who was shot while sitting in a car outside an apartment complex. He is now paralyzed below his waist. He had his left leg amputated. This is very sad to find out. He had 14 bullet wounds to his back, left groin, left legs, and right buttock. One bullet severed his spinal cord. Blood clots formed in his left leg and that is why is was amputated. 5 bullets were removed from his urinary bladder. And now he will not be able to return to tha field. This is sad to see such a talented NFL player, just an overall good football player, not be able to play again and fulfill his dreams. My prayers go out to him, his family, and his team. He is tha 3rd NFL player to be shot in tha past 18 months, that is not a good fact. Redskins player Sean Taylor was shot and killed and Broncos CB Darrent Williams was killed after his limo was hit with bullets. Three great players took away due to other people. I wish tha best for Richard Collier..
