Denver Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler went to the Pro Bowl to tag along with teammates Brandon Marshall and Jay Cutler but was admitted to hospital upon returning.

Testing revealed he was suffering from E. coli, a bacteria that affected his lower intestine. The tight end might have picked up the bacteria during a visit to the Denver stock show, if not during his Hawaiian trek.

Scheffler was released after a three-day hospital stay and is returning to normal.
