Morgan III carted off and taken to DFW hospital with neck issue

John Morgan III suffered a neck injury late in the fourth quarter of the Southwest Classic and was taken to a local hospital for precautionary reasons.

Football is a physical, violent game, and it’s never more apparent than when a player is lying on the grass or turf motionless and they bring the medical cart out for said player.

It happened in the fourth quarter of Arkansas’ 34-22 loss to Texas A&M on Saturday at AT&T Stadium to defensive end John Morgan III.

Luckily, his neck just popped out of place and they loaded him on the cart for precautionary reasons and he should be fine.

Morgan III had been having a strong year through five games, compiling four tackles with two sacks and a forced fumble.

Defensive line is luckily one position group where the Razorbacks have actually accumulated some depth. He should be able to return at some point this season, as well.
