Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell was shot Saturday night and suffered minor injuries, his team announced.
The 24-year-old NFL player was treated at the hospital for his injuries and has since been released.
The incident took place at a nightclub in Sanford, Florida, with local media reporting that he was caught in the crossfire of an altercation in which he was not involved.
“We have been made aware that Tank Dell was the victim of a shooting last night,” the Texans said in a statement.
“He suffered a minor wound but has been released from hospital and is in good spirits.
“We are in contact with him and his family and will provide further updates as necessary.”
Dell was one of ten people injured in the incident, but no one suffered serious injuries. Police said a 16-year-old had been arrested and charged with attempted murder.
Dell's impressive rookie year was ended by a broken leg in December, but he is in training for the upcoming season, which starts in September.
