On Wednesday, Steelers running back Isaiah Pead confirmed that he communicated with former teammate Stedman Bailey before Bailey was shot in the head Tuesday night.

Pead, who was recently signed by the Steelers after being released by the Rams earlier this season, said he commented with Bailey on Face Time an hour before Bailey was shot while sitting inside a car outside a home in the Miami area.

Pead and Bailey were teammates for two seasons, as Bailey joined the Rams after being drafted out of West Virginia in 2014. While he confirmed that he spoke with Bailey prior to the shooting, Pead did not disclose the details of the discussion or if he knew anything about the injuries that Bailey has sustained.

Bailey was critically wounded following the attack, and was reported to be awake and aware after surgery on Wednesday. His injuries have not been disclosed by the Rams or the authorities.
