Bam Booker injury: Bowling Green DL stretchered off following vicious hit, no flag thrown

A scary injury occurred in Tuesday night’s contest between Bowling Green and Western Michigan, one in which a stretcher came out for defensive lineman Bam Booker.

The Falcons sophomore attempted to field a pooch kick around the 30-yard line when disaster struck.

Booker was unable to cleanly field the kick, with the ball going through his arms and off his chest, rolling forward toward the onrushing kickoff coverage unit. Booker went to a knee as he fell forward, then he was absolutely decleated by a hit.

He went from leaning forward to lying on his back, staring at the sky. He did not move for nine minutes before he was ultimately stretchered off from the field. Bam Booker did give a thumbs up from the stretcher, a great sign.

No penalty flag was thrown on the play, which you can view below.
