Steelers tackle Michael Adams is stabbed in attempted carjacking

Michael Adams, an offensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers was stabbed twice during an attempted carjacking on the city’s South Side district, police said.

Police said Adams, 23, told officers he was standing near his truck shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday when he was confronted by three men, one armed with a knife and one with a handgun.

Adams told officers the trio tried to carjack him, but he didn’t have his car keys. He said “the situation escalated” and one man pointed the gun at his face while the other stabbed him twice before all three fled, according to police.

Adams went into a nearby restaurant to seek help and was hospitalized, receiving surgery for stab wounds to the abdomen and left forearm. Police said he was in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.

He was drafted in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft and named the team’s outstanding rookie, starting six of the 10 games in which he played.

A person with knowledge of the negotiations said the San Francisco 49ers have agreed to terms with Eric Mangini to be an offensive consultant for the NFC champions. The former Cleveland Browns and New York Jets coach will work on Jim Harbaugh’s staff for the reigning NFC champions.

Mangini, 42, had been working as an analyst with ESPN since August 2011.
