Arizona State’s Rodney Bimage Suffers A Scary Injury

Arizona State’s defense took a dramatic pause in the game when cornerback Rodney Bimage Jr. went down after making a big hit on a third‑down stop. He was immediately attended to on the field and remained motionless for several minutes. The entire Sun Devils sideline knelt in silence as trainers circled him near the sideline.

There’s no official diagnosis yet. Arizona State’s medical staff moved quickly and took the precaution of placing a stretcher under Bimage. He was stabilized and escorted off the field with significant support from the training staff and teammates. The knelt sideline and hushed crowd reflected the level of concern felt by everyone witnessing the moment.

While losing someone’s ability on the field is a big setback, the priority right now is Bimage’s health. Everything else, defensive snaps, game plan changes, comes after. Arizona State’s focus has shifted to receiving a clear assessment and supporting the player through whatever comes next.

Fans and alumni will be waiting for updates through this week. The impact of the hour may be minor depending on the injury, or it could be significant. For now it’s unclear what the return timeline looks like, though Arizona State will take a cautious approach.
