Dogs may be adorable, but they’re also dangerous. Lions tight end Joe Fauria found this out the hard way.
Joe Fauria sprains ankle trying to stop puppy from peeing inside
The Lions keep getting silly injuries, but this is the most adorable.
Joe Fauria said he sprained his ankle after missing bottom two stairs while trying to stop his 3-month old dog from urinating in the house
— Detroit Lions (@Lions) September 29, 2014 Fauria had previously described the injury that kept him off the field this week as "a freak fall at home," but he hadn't fully described how freakish it was. We can't blame Fauria. First off, a peeing puppy requires immediate "NO NO NO NO NO"-ing and sprinting to where the puppy pee is happening. Second off, his puppy is ADORABLE:
Now I'm only concentrating on getting back on the field ASAP! Please no death threats to Lil' Rufio, he's just a pup! pic.twitter.com/Q1O5QM41RW

He’s trying to train the pup!
As understandable as it may be, we can giggle about Fauria’s injury. Of course, he’s not the first Lion to get hurt in a strange way:
