Keyon Martin injury: Louisiana CB stretchered off field after scary collision vs. Texas State

A scary scene unfolded shortly before halftime of the Louisiana–Texas State game in San Marcos on Tuesday night, as Ragin’ Cajuns cornerback Keyon Martin was stretchered off the field after an apparently severe head/neck injury.

Martin came down from his spot in the secondary to make a tackle on a Texas State ball carrier in the final minute of the first half. As he closed on his target, Martin lowered his head and absorbed collision, immediately collapsing to the ground after.
