Fans are scouring the internet for who the mystery player could be but so far there is no concrete evidence.
According to a recent piece in The Sun, the Henderson Police denied reports of the attack stating “Our office has has no record or report of any incident involving a coyote nor a professional athlete.”
The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs players are both staying at the Lake Las Vegas complex, a 320-acre reservoir in Henderson. The community is located about 25 miles away from the Allegiant Stadium which is set to host the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Coyote attacks are not uncommon in the Nevada desert and residents in Vegas are always to the possibility of one. Some of the players visiting the state, however, may want to be more alert as they prepare for the biggest game of the year.
