Some reports even cited a fake police report saying he had non-life-threatening injuries after a crash with an Audi.

Similar rumors circulated Sunday about other NFL players, including Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones and quarterback Matt Ryan.

Jones also took to Twitter to dispell the rumors.

Thanks to all my fam & fans for texts, calls & tweets checking on me. Trust me I'm fine - no accident, no broken legs! #internethoax
