"He was about to pee and I was like, 'Come here you little ... nugget,'" Fauria said Monday at his locker with a boot on his left foot and crutches by his side. "And I was chasing him downstairs. I wasn't running but I was chasing him downstairs and I just misstepped and I reached with my left foot and I just didn't end up well."

Last season, the Lions lost then-receiver Nate Burleson for seven games when he broke his left forearm trying to save a sliding pizza box from the front seat of his car.
