Damn
ife for former Bengals and Titans DL Antwan Odom has been brutal the past few years.
And this morning, it only got worse, as WKRG News 5’s Jessica Taloney reports that Odom was shot in the leg about 4:30 a.m. Monday. The injury is not life-threatening, and deputies in Mobile, Ala., are currently looking for the shooter.
It has been an absolutely terrible three years for Odom.
He recorded eight sacks in the first six games of 2009, but then suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. He was suspended for the first four games in 2010 for violating the league’s substance abuse policy (Odom said at the time that it wasn’t for steroids or performance enhancing drugs). After returning from his suspension, he only played four games last year, recording just three tackles before he was placed on IR with a wrist injury.
He wasn’t just injured, though. Basically, Odom was ineffective, which is why the Bengals cut him in July.
To make matters worse, his $1.1 million Cincinnati home burned to the ground last March (Odom, his wife and his five kids were not at home). And now, he’s got a bullet in his leg.
It’s safe to say that, assuming Odom recovers and that he turns out OK, he’s due for a few years of good luck.
