ESPN’s pregame injury report caused more than a few people to do a double take before the Citrus Bowl.
2 Louisville players missed the Citrus Bowl with gunshot wounds, so this graphic is unfortunately accurate
The injuries were not life-threatening.
Louisville linebackers Henry Famurewa and James Hearns did indeed suffer gunshot wounds, forcing them to miss the game against LSU.
The incident happened earlier in December while the players were celebrating their teammate Lamar Jackson’s Heisman win, and the injuries were not life-threatening.
It appears that Famurewa and Hearns weren’t causing a ruckus, but at least Famurewa was trying to quell it:
Louisville senior Darren Bruner told a reporter it wasn’t anyone on the Louisville side of things who caused the problems.
“It’s not students from campus. It’s that U of L is sort of in an unique situation that we’re situated in this part of town, not the greatest part, especially on this side of campus and here in old Louisville so we get a lot of people off of the street coming in and intruding on what should be a good time,” Bruner said.
Both are on the trip and presumably on the sidelines during the game.
