NFL Player Stabbed: Steelers’ Mike Adams Hospitalized After Robbery Attempt

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Mike Adams was stabbed this weekend during an attempted robbery.

Adams was taken to the hospital to undergo surgery after he was stabbed in the stomach. Adams is expected to make a full recovery.

The offensive tackle wrote on Twitter:

“I had an angel looking out for me! (I’ll) be ok just gotta fight to get back harder then ever.”

Adams’ agent, Eric Metz, said that Adams was confronted by three men early this morning who wanted to steal Adams’ truck. The robbers didn’t get Adams’ truck but they did stab the NFL player in the stomach.

Adams played his rookie season with the Steelers in 2012. He started six games and won the Joe Greene Performance Award.

Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said:

“We are aware of the situation regarding Mike Adams being stabbed earlier this morning … We are in direct communication with both Mike and his family. Mike is expected to make a full recovery.”
