"Earlier today, Jodie Sweetin injured her left foot during rehearsals for Dancing with the Stars," Sweetin's spokesperson said in a statement to E! News.

"She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital and she is awaiting her official diagnosis," the spokesperson added. "She is in good spirits while she waits and Keo, along with her fiancé, Justin Hodak, are by her side.

An ABC rep later told TV Line it is unclear if Sweetin's injury will prevent her from competing on Monday's show. The actress herself has yet to address the incident or give an update on her health.

Fellow contestant Nyle DiMarco and Dancing pro Mark Ballas are among the other stars who have injured themselves in Season 22. DiMarco received stitches for a cut, while Ballas was forced to sit out a week after hurting his back.
