(Reuters) - Rookie Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damond Powell is recovering after being hit in the face by gunfire outside his home in South Toledo, Ohio on Friday night, the Toledo Blade reported on Saturday.
Powell, who had 19 catches for 317 yards and three touchdowns last season for the University of Iowa, was shot while sitting in a car with some friends in his driveway, according to a police report.
The 22-year-old was taken to the University of Toledo Medical Center for treatment, though police said his injuries were not life threatening.
"We are aware that Damond Powell was the victim of a shooting last night in Toledo, where he remains hospitalized," the Cardinals said in a statement on Saturday.
