Major questions remain about Aqib Talib’s involvement in a shooting in Dallas early Sunday, but as the story unfolds, the Broncos’ cornerback could potentially face penalty from the league and the law.
Talib was expected to return to Colorado on Tuesday evening and report to the Broncos’ training facility Wednesday to be examined by the team’s medical staff. The ninth-year veteran suffered a gunshot wound to his lower right leg that did not require surgery. Broncos trainer Steve Antonopulos has been in contact with Talib’s doctors in Dallas, and coach Gary Kubiak told local media that a timetable for Talib’s return was discussed internally, but he did not provide further details.
