PALMETTO BAY, Fla. -- Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor was in critical condition Monday after surgery for a gunshot wound to his leg during what police are investigating as a possible armed robbery at his home.
The 24-year-old player was in the intensive care unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital after several hours of surgery, said family friend Richard Sharpstein, his former lawyer. Taylor lost a "significant" amount of blood because the bullet damaged his femoral artery, Sharpstein said.
Doctors are worried the blood loss might affect blood flow to the brain, said Sharpstein, who was at the hospital with Taylor's family and friends.
In a story posted on The Washington Post's Web site, Sharpstein characterized Taylor as "nonresponsive and unconscious."
"Right now he's clinging to life and we're all praying he makes it," Sharpstein said, according to The Post.

I'm not a Redskins fan, and I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that, when I found out he was shot, I was not at all surprised based on his history, but I truly hope he ends up surviving.
Doubt he will be playing football anytime soon, if ever again, though.
