Former Pro Bowl linebacker LaVar Arrington (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/70869) was hospitalized Monday with serious but not life-threatening injuries after his motorcycle crashed on a highway ramp.

Arrington lost control and hit a guardrail, Maryland State Police Sgt. Russell Newell said. He said police did not know how fast Arrington was traveling.

Arrington, who turns 29 Wednesday, was wearing a helmet and alcohol was not involved in the accident, Newell said. Arrington was issued two citations - one for operating the motorcycle without a proper license and the other for the crash itself.
Arrington's attorney, Rosalyn Pugh, said the former Redskins (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/67062) and Giants (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/67056) player had "a few broken bones, which you might expect from a motorcycle accident." She said he had not had surgery.
Pugh said Arrington was expected to remain at Prince George's Hospital Center overnight and his condition would be reevaluated in the morning. Arrington's mother, father and wife were at his bedside, she said. "I've spoken with his wife and she says he's in good spirits," Pugh said.

Yet another example of why I never want to even ride a motorcycle, let alone drive one.

The report I heard on ESPN said he broke one of his legs in 3 places. If that's true he may be out for a long time. He's only 29 but you have to start wondering about his career at this point. I liked Arrington when he was at Penn State but he's had a lot of trouble in the pros. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he coming off of an achiles injury?

Yea and a future with the giants until that injury...
Yet another NFL genius who had to get a motorcycle.
I think the NFL should limit players to only purchasing mopeds.
