cbc: New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress has been accidentally shot in the leg at a nightclub, it was reported Saturday.
ESPN.com and Fox Sports.com said the wound was not life-threatening. It was not clear at what club the shooting took place.
The Fox website said the NFL star spent the night in hospital.
"I don't have anything for you at this stage," Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon told the Associated Press from Giants Stadium.
Phone calls to Burress's home and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, were not immediately returned.
Burress injured a hamstring two weeks ago against the Baltimore Ravens. The Giants said Friday he would not play Sunday against the Redskins in Washington.
Earlier this season, the 31-year-old receiver was suspended for a game and fined $117,500 for missing a team meeting and failing to notify the team of his absence. He said he had a family emergency.
He was also fined $45,000 by the NFL for his conduct during a game against the San Francisco 49ers in October when he abused an official and tossed a ball into the stands.
Burress caught the winning pass in the Giants' Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots last February.
He signed a five-year, $35-million contract hours before the season opened in September.
