Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jerome McDougle was in critical condition after being shot in the stomach by armed robbers in Miami. McDougle, who is a former star for the University of Miami Hurricanes, was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center.

According to local police, three armed robbers approached McDougle's Mercedes, demanded the car, then fired their weapons. McDougle was shot once in the stomach. The robbers, who police said were likely teens, fled on foot and have not been apprehended. It wasn't clear whether McDougle was in his car or near it when he was approached.

Jerome McDougle was a first-round pick in 2003, but has been plagued with injuries since suiting up for the Philadelphia Eagles. In two seasons, he has played in only 19 games. He was expected to be a high impact player after a stellar career for the Miami Hurricanes. McDougle had 114 tackles and 14 sacks in two seasons at Miami. Hopefully, the big fella will pull through and have a full recovery.
