In what's easily one of the most adorable NFL-related tweets ever, the Detroit Lions announced that tight end Joseph Fauria sprained his ankle while trying to stop his dog from having an accident inside.

— Detroit Lions (@Lions) September 29, 2014Noticing that his husky-pomeranian mix Lil' Rufio was beginning to urinate in his apartment Wednesday night, Fauria said he chased after the dog downstairs and missed the final two steps, MLive reported.
The injury invited skepticism, but Fauria assured reporters Monday that he did not hurt his ankle -- which has him on crutches -- playing another sport in his spare time.
Fauria, who sat out the Lions' victory over the Jets Sunday, told reporters it could be a while before he returns to the lineup, but we'll always have that tweet and this one:
Now I'm only concentrating on getting back on the field ASAP! Please no death threats to Lil' Rufio, he's just a pup! pic.twitter.com/Q1O5QM41RW
