JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Doctors say Jacksonville lineman Richard Collier is paralyzed below the waist and that they had to amputate one of his legs.

Collier was shot and critically wounded earlier this month as he sat in a vehicle outside an apartment building with a former teammate.

Doctors say he has 14 bullet wounds but is now in stable condition. No one has been arrested.
