Late in the fourth quarter, with less than 3 minutes remaining, Florida receiver Justin Shorter was carted off the field after taking a hard hit following an incomplete pass. The hit appeared to leave him motionless on the ground as medical personnel came to his aid.
Shorter went up for a pass from Emory Jones and, as he came down, was hit in the back by UFC defensive back Quadric Bullard and his head snapped backward.
Shorter appeared to be in good spirits as he posted an update to Instagram overnight. The caption was “Still me” as he was wearing a neck brace laying on a bed.
He finished with 54 yards on three receptions before exiting the game.
