Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint suffered a nasty lower leg injury on a touchdown catch in the first quarter of Georgia’s game against Florida at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville on Saturday.
The Bulldogs had a 3rd-and-7 at the Florida 32 on their second possession of the game. Stetson Bennett threw a pass to Rosemy-Jacksaint, who took the ball into the end zone for the score. A Gators defender tried to tackle him around the 2-yard line and clipped Rosemy-Jacksaint’s lower leg.
The injury can be seen here, but it's graphic.
The lower part of Rosemy-Jacksaint’s right leg or ankle appeared to be bent the wrong direction after he tumbled through the end zone following the tackle. He was carted off the field.
A teammate’s reaction to the injury showed all you need to know about the injury:
Rosemy-Jacksaint is a freshman and entered the game with three catches for 30 yards. The injury was a terrible outcome for what was his first career touchdown.
