DECATUR, Ala. — New York Giants receiver Taye Biddle is recovering from gunshot wounds to his hand and leg after being shot while visiting family in his hometown.
Decatur police said in a statement Thursday that Biddle was shot Sunday night outside a residence and was treated and released from a local hospital. Police said there was no evidence Biddle caused or provoked the shooting.
The shooting was first reported by The Huntsville Times newspaper.
The 25-year-old Biddle grew up in Decatur and played college football at the University of Mississippi.
Police have not made any arrests in the case and have not released a possible motive for the shooting.
Biddle was promoted from the Giants’ practice squad after receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg last November.
