NFL: Cardinals cornerback in ‘near-fatal’ cooking accident

Actually, Antonio Hamilton had secured a starting spot with the Arizona Cardinals. Now the cornerback explained why he’ll miss the first four games – the 29-year-old was in a near-fatal cooking accident.

Munich – Antonio Hamilton of the Arizona Cardinals has explained why he will miss the first few days of the upcoming NFL season. As the cornerback shared on Twitter, the reason for his absence is a cooking accident that could have even been fatal.

“This past Monday I had an accident that could have been fatal for me and my family. I burnt both my feet badly (second degree burns). It was just a freak accident and God spared me worse,” Hamilton wrote on Twitter.

On the other hand, the 29-year-old also wrote that he had had “the best training camp of his career”.

Actually, Hamilton was a starting candidate among the cornerbacks for the Cardinals. But then, surprisingly and without explanation, he was placed on the Injury List.

For now, no details about Hamilton’s injuries have been released to the public. Now he is providing clarity with his statement.

Hamilton’s accident with deep fryer

As NFL insider Mike Garofolo reports, Hamilton allegedly injured himself while deep frying with hot oil. As a result, the cornerback had to be taken to the hospital immediately

Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury also commented on Hamilton’s retirement to an official team reporter, “It’s disappointing for him. He actually deserved a starting spot. “

It is unclear when Hamilton will be fit again and able to stand on the pitch. The only thing that is certain is that the Cardinals will have to do without their starting cornerback for at least the first four weeks and right at the beginning against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.
