Tom Coughlin hospitalized after breaking ribs and puncturing lung in bicycle accident

Former Jacksonville Jaguars executive Tom Coughlin has fractured four ribs, punctured his lung, and injured himself to the point of needing stitches in his head after a bicycle accident last weekend in Jacksonville that left him hospitalized for a night, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter.

According to Coughlin, another man on a racing bike “comes out of nowhere and clips the front of my bike” and blindsided the former Executive VP of Football Operations.

Coughlin was fired by owner Shad Khan last December, two days after the NFL Players Association warned players to be wary of signing with the franchise, citing excessive fines and player grievances.
