Report: Nate Burleson out for several weeks with broken arm

Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson could be out of action for several weeks after breaking his arm, according to a report.

The injury occurred when the 32-year-old was involved in a single-vehicle accident while driving to practice on Tuesday morning.

Burleson crashed his car and broke his arm in two places and required surgery later in the day, which could rule him out of action for six weeks, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The 32-year-old led the Lions in receptions this season and was a key part of their win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday.
