USC wide receiver Makai Lemon exited Saturday’s game against Michigan with an apparent injury after he was hit hard during a punt return in the first half.
Lemon did not return to the game and, according to the CBS broadcast, he was taken away in an ambulance. USC did not provide an official update on Lemon’s status.
The sophomore wideout spent an extended amount of time laying down on the field after the injury while surrounded by several members of USC’s training and coaching staff before walking off under his own power. He entered the injury tent and was then taken into the locker room.
This season, Lemon has caught four passes for 45 yards and a touchdown. Last year, Lemon played both wide receiver and cornerback. As a receiver, Lemon had six catches for 88 yards.
