Free-agent linebacker LaVar Arrington was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in the Washington, D.C., area, the player's agent told ESPN.com on Monday.
Carl Poston said it was his understanding that Arrington suffered a broken bone in his arm, three broken bones in his leg, cuts and bruises. The injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. He is recovering at Prince George's Hospital Center.
Arrington, a former Pro Bowl linebacker for the Washington Redskins, is not currently under contract to any team. The 28-year-old Arrington is still rehabilitating an Achilles tendon tear that cut short his 2006 season with the New York Giants.

Trust me guys. He will healthy in 2008 and he will be humbled. He may even be a Skin in 2008. Gibbs is a humble man and if Lavar can somehow humble himself enough to play the Vet minimum, and then earn a new contract. I am sure we can bury the hatchet.
Imagine this next year. We draft either Kalais Campbell out of Miami DE or Tyson Jackson out of LSU DE and bring back Lavar.
Our defense would become legendary. Right now our squad has the players to be good or even excellent. Add the Two defensive ends and a REDEEMED Lavar Arrington and then you have the ingredients to have legendary Defense. Think 85 Bears or the Steel Curtain.
