A scary moment occurred near the end of Saturday’s Arkansas State-Kansas State game that involved Wildcats safety Wayne Jones.
In the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game, Jones collided with an Arkansas State running back and appeared to take a hit to the helmet. The safety remained on the ground for some time after the hit, and he was eventually carted off the field and taken to a nearby hospital.
The injury forced the FOX broadcast team to take an extended break as medical personnel tended to Jones on the field.
