Rams WR Bailey shot in head

The Rams themselves did not say what happened to Bailey other than he was hospitalized after an unspecified incident, but said they have spoken with the player. The damage has already been done though, after Bailey was shot twice. The three other passengers in the vehicle, including Reeves’ 5-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter, were uninjured, police said.

Bailey was a third round [92nd Overall] pick in the 2013 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams. ESPN’s Josina Anderson reported that Bailey was shot in the head twice. Another man, Antwan Reeves, was with Bailey and was also shot in the incident Tuesday night. Our hope is that Sted will get back on the field. Bailey suffered non-life threating injuries but will likely undergo additional surgery on Wednesday. “As soon as we get ’em, we’ll share ’em with you”. “Based on reports from the hospital, Bailey is in critical but stable condition awaiting surgery.”Police said they were looking for suspects, who had driven up in another vehicle before shooting.

Earlier this month, the National Football League suspended Bailey four games for violation of its policy on substance abuse.

Bailey is in the intensive-care unit of a Florida hospital and will have surgery today, the source said.

Fisher was unsure of the specifics of Bailey’s surgery but offered a slight update.

“Only thing we can do is just pray for him and just stay strong for him”, Hayes said.

Twitter was filled with words of prayer and concern from Rams teammates as well as players throughout the NFL.

Asked how tough it is to deal with a situation like this, Fisher said, “Well it’s very, very hard”.

Fisher said Wednesday’s practice in preparation for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati was “fine”, adding, “The whole key when you’re dealing with these type of situations is you have to do your best to keep them informed. We’re with you brother”.

Bailey served a two-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs at the start of last season. During his time as a Mountaineer, Bailey amassed 210 receptions for 3,218 yards along with 41 touchdowns.
