The Dallas Morning News reports that the injury is not life-threatening. Another report described it as a “minor” leg injury.

Talib was released from the hospital on Sunday, which is a good sign.
Talib had his fair share of off-field issues early in his career (like being a part of this club promotion), but he has managed to stay out of trouble during outstanding seasons with the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos. Hopefully he is able to make a full recovery after Sunday’s incident.
