INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Indianapolis Colts cornerback Nick Harper's wife was jailed Saturday night on charges of cutting him with a knife, a sheriff said.
Hamilton County Sheriff Doug Carter said Daniell Harper, 31, was being held without bond on charges of battery with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness.
Nick Harper was treated for a knee injury at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. His injuries were not life-threatening, Carter said.
Harper was listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC divisional playoff game against Pittsburgh.
Earlier Saturday, Colts spokesman Craig Kelley said Harper had required stitches in his knee following an "accident." He said he had no other details.
Kelley told The Associated Press later that he had gotten his information from Colts officials.
"There was not an accident," Carter said. He said Harper and his wife had been involved in a fight.
Seems like every year something like this happens during the playoffs, usually right before the Superbowl.
Remember Eugine Robinson getting caught with the hooker the night before the Super Bowl? I think the Packers had a bit of a PR black eye a few days before our second Super Bowl in the 90's too.
You think I jest? Doing good. I am disobeying the doctor. Par for the course. I start work at a resort tomorrow. Sales. I just hope I don't embarass myself. I am not supposed to be out and about yet, but I have my drugs to minimize the pain.
My biggest problem is that the pain makes get winded very quickly so sometimes I sound like I just ran a mile or two when all I did was go up the stairs.
Yes, but refused the physical therapy. I can do sit ups at home without having to pay someone. It is getting better. The pain is all post-operative, and is my fault for being so active. Wasn't a good thing to try the driving range yesterday, the incision is pretty inflamed today. I can muddle through the pain. I will take the pain any day over just sitting in bed on pain pills.
