    Lions receiver Nate Burleson broke his arm in a single-car accident early Tuesday after he reached over to keep two pizza boxes from falling off the front passenger seat, authorities said.

    Burleson's car hit a center median wall on a highway in suburban Detroit and he was taken to a hospital. Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw said alcohol wasn't a factor in the crash at 2:25 a.m.

    Coach Jim Schwartz stopped short of writing off the rest of Burleson's season, but surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.

    “It's not an emergency surgery,â€￾ Schwartz said. “Nate'll be back at some point, and when he will, he will be a big contributor again to our team.â€￾

    The team didn't say which arm was broken.

    I hope it was the arm he uses to pleasure himself. (shakes head) I also hope the Lions don't pay for the medical bills, or salary for missed games

    I'm guessing you mean the one he uses to hold pizza slices.
