You can take the thug out of the U, but you can't take the U out of the thug.

For a while there the rumors were pretty glum - severed femoral artery, life-threatening condition. More recent reports are not exactly great - shot in the groin, critical condition.

The Washington Post is reporting that the injuries are life-threatening, and that there is a concern about possible brain damage.
They are now saying that he's come out of surgery and in the recovery area, and family members have said he's doing OK.
The incident is considered a clear case of armed robbbery by the police.

We all I am sure wish Taylor well in his recovery.
That said ...

Sharpstein said Taylor's girlfriend told him the couple was awakened by loud noises, and Taylor grabbed a machete he keeps in the bedroom for protection. Someone then broke through the bedroom door and fired two shots, one missing and one hitting Taylor, the lawyer said.

Ouch - bringing a knife to a gun fight!

Taylor's femoral artery repaired; Redskin lost 'significant' amount of blood
Quote:
PALMETTO BAY, Fla. -- Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor was in critical condition Monday after surgery for a gunshot wound to his leg during what police are investigating as a possible armed robbery at his home.
The 24-year-old player was in the intensive care unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital after several hours of surgery, said family friend Richard Sharpstein, his former lawyer. Taylor lost a "significant" amount of blood because the bullet damaged his femoral artery, Sharpstein said.
Doctors are worried the blood loss might affect blood flow to the brain, said Sharpstein, who was at the hospital with Taylor's family and friends.
In a story posted on The Washington Post's Web site, Sharpstein characterized Taylor as "nonresponsive and unconscious."
"Right now he's clinging to life and we're all praying he makes it," Sharpstein said, according to The Post.
Officers were sent to Taylor's home at about 1:45 a.m. after his girlfriend called 911 and said he was shot in his lower body, Lt. Nancy Perez said. Taylor had missed the last two games because of a knee injury and was at home recuperating. Taylor was airlifted to the hospital.
Investigators were still interviewing the girlfriend and other relatives who were in the home to try to determine what happened, Perez said. No arrests have been made.
