What? He did what?

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. May go down in history as the wackiest off field injury for an athlete ever.
Just when you think you've heard it all. The Jaguars have a massive tree stump in their lockerroom as a motivational ploy. HC Jack Del Rio says it is a symbol for this season to "keep chopping wood". Unfortunately, the punter Hanson took this literally and attempted to swing an axe at the stump and accidently chopped his own leg which required him to be rushed to the hospital where Hanson was stitched up. His leg will be in a boot for the next four to six weeks and the team is deciding if they want to place him on injured reserve.
