NFL actively looking into Aqib Talib shooting

— -- The NFL is actively looking into the circumstances surrounding Aqib Talib being shot this weekend, an NFL official told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Texas laws also might present an issue for Talib as police investigate the incident. Under new law in the state as of Jan. 1, a person must have a license to carry a gun.

Carrying a weapon in public without a license into a place that sells alcohol is considered a Class 3 felony. It is a Class A misdemeanor to possess a weapon while intoxicated in Texas (there is no official indication he was intoxicated on the night of the incident), and punishment carries a year in jail. It is a Class B misdemeanor to discharge a weapon in public, and punishment carries up to six months in jail.

If Talib had a license, he could be charged with two of these crimes; if he didn't, it's possible he could be charged with all three. It is not known if Talib had a licensed weapon and was shot at, or whether he shot himself. 

The Denver Broncos were immediately notified by the NFL about the shooting after they found out about it. Now, the NFL is exploring the facts behind the incident, the official told Schefter.

According to a report by WFAA-TV in Dallas, Talib told police he had been hanging out at a park with friends when he was shot early Sunday morning. But detectives are looking into whether Talib may have been shot at the nightclub where two other people were shot by an unknown suspect in a disturbance about the same time.

The bullet entered his right thigh and exited his right calf, according to the WFAA report. Such a trajectory might suggest a self-inflicted wound.

Talib was released from a Dallas hospital Monday and is expected to return to Denver either Tuesday or Wednesday.

The 30-year-old was treated at a Dallas hospital Sunday and remained there overnight before being discharged Monday. Talib did not make the trip Monday with the rest of his teammates to the White House, where the Broncos were honored for their Super Bowl 50 championship, due to the injury.

The team does not believe Talib suffered any serious injuries that would significantly impede his participation in offseason preparations.

The Broncos began their mandatory three-day minicamp Tuesday.
