Rodeo star Ty Murray says he got a black eye while practicing for "Dancing with the Stars," but insists it won't impact his dancing on the U.S. TV series.
"What happened is that I threw Chelsie into the air during a group rehearsal and her mic pack fell off and hit me in the eye," the rodeo cowboy said in a statement. "It was bleeding for a little while and is slightly black and blue, but I kept ice on it and it won't have any effect on our dancing."
Murray compared the practice injury to injuries he's witnessed during his bull riding career.
"It's not a big deal to me, because in bull riding I see that from time to time, but I guess people aren't used to seeing a little blood in the ballroom," Murray told E! Online jokingly.
