Sadly, this wouldn't be the first time an NFL star has shot himself in the leg. In 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg on his way into a nightclub.

TMZ Sports notes that if police determine that Talib lied to them, he could be charged with a crime. The NFL is investigating the incident.
