Cardinals DB Antonio Hamilton Tweets Pic of Cooking Accident

This is perhaps the most odd offseason in Arizona Cardinals history in terms of drama (thanks, Kyler), and Thursday saw another turn taken in the saga of the team.

Cornerback Antonio Hamilton was placed on the Non-Football Injury List Thursday and will miss at least the first four weeks of the season after what was initially described as a cooking accident.

My understanding is that Antonio Hamilton burned himself. He was cooking in the kitchen and spilled hot oil on himself. Was severe enough (both feet and an arm) he had to go to the hospital.

Hamilton then took to social media to let everybody know things could have been much worse:

Had the greatest camp of my career & last Monday I had a accident that could've ended up deadly for me & my family but instead I got the short end of it by having my feet severely burned (2nd degree). It was literally a freak accident and God spared me to only have these injuries pic.twitter.com/8SXhJjzZbW

Hamilton was expected too see plenty of snaps at cornerback this season prior to the injury. Now, Arizona looks to rely on the freshly acquired Trayvon Mullen to step up in his presence.

The Cardinals also re-signed seventh-round pick Christian Matthew and claimed Javelin Guidry off waivers from the New York Jets recently to help bolster the depth in the secondary.
