Denver Broncos defensive end Jason Hunter was recovering Wednesday from a stab wound to the shoulder.
Hunter, 27, was knifed in his left shoulder during an incident that allegedly involved his 23-year-old girlfriend, Detroit's WXYZ-TV reported.
He was the second NFL player to be hospitalized with a knife wound in less than a week.
Hunter's agent, Robert Walker, issued a statement via Twitter saying the player was not seriously hurt. "I've spoken to my client Jason Hunter and it's a very minor injury, just a few stitches. He'll be fine," he said.
According to WXYZ, police said Hunter's girlfriend, whose name was not released, was facing possible charges including felonious assault, but Hunter reportedly chose not to pursue the matter.
On Friday, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall was stabbed in the abdomen with a kitchen knife at his Florida home.
Marshall initially claimed he was hit with a vase before his wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall, apparently confessed to the stabbing, telling police she acted in self-defense.
Marshall was released from an intensive care unit Saturday after undergoing stomach surgery. His wife is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and domestic violence.
