Sellers returns after ankle injury against Texas A&M
ESPN reported that Sellers would try to continue after X-rays came back negative.
South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers returned for the Gamecocks’ first possession of the second half against Texas A&M after an ankle injury sent him to the medical tent and locker room. GamecockCentral reported that ESPN’s broadcast said his X-rays were negative.
The injury followed a major swing in the game. Sellers connected with Mazeo Bennett for 64 yards. On the next play, he was strip-sacked, giving Texas A&M possession at its own 22-yard line.
ESPN sideline reporter Stormy Buonantony reported that Sellers left the medical tent without his cleat before walking toward the locker room. South Carolina coach Shane Beamer told ESPN at halftime that he was concerned and said Sellers would undergo an X-ray.
When South Carolina returned for the second half, Buonantony reported that Sellers was “going to try to give it a go.” He then took the field as the quarterback for the Gamecocks’ opening possession of the half.
Why it matters
Sellers returned after an injury interrupted a South Carolina drive that had gained 64 yards on one pass. His availability kept the Gamecocks’ starting quarterback on the field to open the second half.
What to watch next
Watch whether Sellers remains in the game after returning for South Carolina’s first possession of the second half.
