EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Nearly a month after he was shot in the head, St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey is home for the holidays.
Bailey, who was shot twice in the Miami area on Nov. 24, tweeted Wednesday evening that he has been released from the hospital and is home with his family in time for Christmas.
What a great feeling it is to be home & away from the hospital. I need to put a Bow on my head and lay under the Christmas tree! =ufffd
