Englewood, Colo. — The Denver Broncos say star cornerback Aqib Talib is recovering after being shot in the lower right leg at a Dallas nightclub early Sunday morning.

Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said the team has been in touch with the cornerback and that he’s doing OK.

Last week, Talib said he was looking forward to the trip Monday to the White House, where President Obama will honor the Broncos for winning the Super Bowl. It’s unknown if Talib will still be able to make the trip.

The Broncos’ three-day mandatory minicamp starts Tuesday.

Police told the Dallas Morning News that Talib was one of two people shot in an altercation at the Vlive club and that both victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds. Talib is entering his ninth NFL season and third in Denver.

MediaUFC Bans Reporter Overr Scoop

Inglewood, Calif. — A reporter’s credentials were revoked during a UFC show Saturday night after he reported that WWE star and former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was close to fighting again for the organization.

MMAfighting.com’s Ariel Helwani said on Twitter that he was escorted out of the UFC 199 show at the Forum before the main event, along with photographer Esther Lin and video director E. Casey Leydon.

Helwani’s story on Lesnar appeared a few hours before the surprising return was made official. During the UFC 199 show, the UFC announced that Lesnar, mixed martial arts’ biggest pay-per-view star, will fight at UFC 200 in Las Vegas next month.

Helwani posted that he only reported news, didn’t do anything unethical and then was “told we’re banned for life.”

UFC spokesman Dave Sholler said the promotion believes that journalists should show professional courtesy by contacting the UFC for comment before reporting a story.

Helwani was recently removed from his role as a reporter for Fox Sports, the UFC’s corporate broadcast partner. He is among the most prominent journalists covering the sport, with more than 368,000 Twitter followers.

UFC President Dana White hasn’t publicly commented on the decision to ban Helwani. White didn’t attend the post-fight news conference at UFC 199.
