JSU's top receiver injured in practice
From staff and wire reports
Jackson State leading receiver T.C. Taylor injured his left knee and left ankle in practice Wednesday and is questionable for Saturday's key Southwestern Athletic Conference game at Alabama A&M.
Taylor caught a short pass from quarterback Robert Kent near the left sideline, and as he turned to go upfield his left leg gave and Taylor fell to the turf just in front of the defensive back who was covering him on the play.
Taylor was taken off the field on a cart and went directly to the training room.
"I tried to make a cut right after I caught it and when I did my knee buckled one way and my ankle went the other way," said Taylor, who had a big bag of ice wrapped around his left knee. "It hurts. I really don't know anything right now. But I plan on playing Saturday. I've got to."
Taylor, a 6-foot-4 senior, has a team-leading 11 catches for 192 yards and four touchdowns in the Tigers' first two games.
