A friend of Arrington's told 9NEWS NOW that he will be OK, and a spokeswoman for the hospital said he is in stable condition.Arrington was drafted by the Washington Redskins as the second overall pick in the 2000 NFL draft. He was recently cut by the New York Giants at the end of last season due to injuries.Arrington is currently a free agent.</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (wusa9.com)</div><div class='quotemain'>[​IMG]</div>This is terrible news, I really hope he recovers from this! Hate to hear anything like this about someone, especially one of my all time favorite players.

    You can almost guarantee he will retire now. I can see the Redskins signing him for a day so he can retire a Redskin.

    Man, what a dumbass... and I'm not talking about the accident he just had. I'm talking about how he completely ruined his career by acting stupid in Washington. He very well could've been the greatest OLB ever.

    It wasn't that serious if he's stable and already said to be fine ahead of time. Sucks for him and his family, it's quite a scare to hear that type of news. Hopefully he recovers, but as said before, probably his retirement time now.

    This adds insult to injury because of his already unstable Achilles Tendon

    I love Arrington. Though his playing days are over, you never want to hear about anyone getting injured.

    Michael Smith said Arrington certainly won't play in 2007, but he might comeback for 2008.
