dabuffbills Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AvAV...ov=ap&type=lgns ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- A paintball shot in the groin left rookie LaRon Landry unable to practice when the Washington Redskins opened their minicamp Friday. The No. 6 overall pick in this year's draft was injured during a team-building outing Wednesday, when coach Joe Gibbs allowed the players to leave early at the end of the voluntary spring workouts. Some players went bowling or had lunch together, while many of the defensive players went to play paintball. "I didn't know paintball was that dangerous," linebacker Marcus Washington said. "I hope it wasn't friendly fire." Landry was on the sidelines when practice began, but within minutes he left and began laboring slowly up the hill toward the team's main building, appearing to favor his left leg. Gibbs said Landry should be fine after a couple of days' rest. "It's kind of bizarre," Gibbs said. "Almost anything can happen in life, so every now and then something like that does happen."

dabuffbills Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 I got hit in the chest from 5-10 feet away and had a welt that lasted for a couple weeks. I can't imagine what getting hit in the groin feels like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 (edited) OWW!!! Funny story though. Wonder who the wiseguy was that shot him. My guess is that it was a fellow safety who saw his playing time cut when Landry was drafted. Edited June 17, 2007 by The Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
