JAGUARS LINEMAN HAS LEG AMPUATED: Richard Collier also paralyzed below the waist after surviving 14 gunshots.

*Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Richard Collier, who was shot earlier this month, is paralyzed below the waist and has had his left leg amputated, his doctors said Monday.
Collier, who had 14 bullet wounds, has had his condition lifted from critical to stable, according to the Associated Press.

The athlete and his former teammate Kenneth Pettway were waiting for two women outside an apartment complex early Sept. 2 when a gunman fired into the vehicle, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Pettway was not injured.

The motive behind the attack on Collier is unknown, but investigators said earlier he appeared to be targeted.
