NEW ORLEANS (AP) -Southern Mississippi receiver DeAndre Brown was carted off the field with what appeared to be a serious left leg injury during the first quarter of Sunday night’s New Orleans Bowl matchup against Troy.
Only minutes after his 67th reception of the season set a school record, Brown’s leg gave out unnaturally as he landed in the end zone during a long incompletion.
Brown writhed in pain as trainers raced to his side. He was placed on a stretcher and lifted onto a cart. He then sat up, receiving applause, as the cart headed into the tunnel in the Louisiana Superdome
Brown, a freshman, was a prized recruit last year and quickly became the Golden Eagle’s leading receiver, finishing the regular season with 66 catches for 1,108 yards and 12 touchdowns.
