Hamilton had severe burns on his legs and feet, requiring a trip to the hospital. He tweeted out a photo of the burns from his Twitter account Thursday afternoon.

“Had the greatest camp of my career & last Monday I had a accident that could’ve ended up deadly for me & my family but instead I got the short end of it by having my feet severely burned (2nd degree),” Hamilton said. “It was literally a freak accident and God spared me to only have these injuries.”
