Mississippi State offensive lineman James Carmon suffered an apparent knee injury late in the second quarter of the Bulldogs’ game at Auburn. Carmon, the Bulldogs’ left tackle, had his knee rolled during a play, and was unable to get up.
James Carmon Injury: Mississippi State Left Tackle Hurts Knee, Is Carted Off Field
Carmon covered his face as he was carted off the field. A senior, Carmon became the Bulldogs’ starter at left tackle after Derek Sherrod went to the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and contributed to Mississippi State’s onslaught against Memphis in Week 1 of the college football season. The Bulldogs put up 59 points on Memphis, rushing for 309 yards and throwing for 336.
Carmon was replaced by Blaine Causell, who immediately caught the ball on a screen pass intended for Mississippi State running back Vick Ballard and was flagged for illegal touching.
