However, NFL.com reported that Bailey was shot twice while sitting in a auto with family.
He played his college ball at West Virginia, and had a record-setting junior season in 2012 before entering the draft.
Citing sources, Wilson added the “current outlook is now more optimistic for Stedman Bailey after initial fear of life-threatening gunshot wound to head”.
Shooting of Stedman Bailey happened in South Florida where he’s from.
Bailey has been serving a four-week NFL-imposed suspension for violation of the league’s substance-abuse policy.
