Louisville CB Cornelius Sturghill wounded in drive-by shooting

Louisville cornerback Cornelius Sturghill will miss the entire 2016 season after being hit in the foot with a stray bullet during a drive-by shooting in Memphis.

"He was walking down the street," Cardinals coach Bobby Petrino said (via Courier-Journal.com). "There was a drive-by shooting, and he took off and ran. He all the sudden fell to the ground, and there was a bullet that hit his foot."
