LaNorris Sellers Returns After Ankle Injury Against Texas A&M

Sellers was brought down on a sack late in the second quarter and lost the ball at the Texas A&M 18-yard line. He was slow to get up and appeared to favor his left ankle as trainers helped him to the sideline. After leaving the medical tent, he walked toward the locker room with a little over four minutes remaining in the half.

South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said at halftime that Sellers had an ankle injury and was undergoing an X-ray. Sellers did not return for the rest of the first half, but came back for the Gamecocks’ opening possession after the break and showed no apparent effects of the injury.

Before leaving, Sellers had completed 10 of 15 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown. South Carolina entered the game at 5-3 after winning three straight and was ranked 21st in the inaugural College Football Playoff rankings. Sellers had contributed 13 touchdowns during that winning run, including five in the previous game against Oklahoma.
