Redskins owner Daniel Snyder just made a brief statement regarding Pro Bowl safety Sean Taylor, who is in a Miami hospital after being shot in his home this morning.
"On behalf of the Redskins, the players and everyone here at the Redskins, our hearts and prayers go out to Sean and his family. Myself and a group of Redskins are on our way to Miami. I really don't have any details other than what everyone else has been reading and reporting ...Our hearts and prayers are with Sean and his family."
Apparently Redskins receiver Santana Moss' mother is at the hospital and has been providing updates to the team. Tight end Chris Cooley told Washington Post Redskins beat writer Jason La Canfora that Taylor had undergone six hours of surgery and was in a coma.
Taylor, the son of a South Florida police chief, has had several brushes with the law over the years. He's an intensely private person who rarely speaks to reporters, but his teammates have talked about how he's matured since becoming a father 18 months ago.
"Ever since he had his child it was like a new Sean," running back Clinton Portis told reporters earlier today.
