Catching balls from Russell Wilson is a dangerous proposition. Two of his top receivers ended up on the gurney and missed a majority of the season after suffering injuries. Wilson's unfortunate luck with receivers continued this week on the set of the Entourage feature film adaption when star Kevin Connolly broke his leg in two places while catching a pass from the baseball prospect err… Super Bowl champion. There are a platoon of star athletes cameoing in Entourage, but none of them made as much of an impact as Wilson. Reportedly, Connolly's injury will be written into the film.

The cameras were rolling when Connolly suffered what has been portrayed as a serious injury. However, the severity of the injury sounds like something Bill Belichick put on an injury report for a bad bruise considering they claimed he immediately went back to filming. That would probably explain why he missed the NFL Coaches photo. A broken leg is severe enough to be addressed immediately by trip to a hospital. Not with Wilson dropping some ice on his shin.
I'm calling on shananigans on Connolly embellishing his injury. Actors, ya can't trust 'em
