Rice Starting QB Wiley Green Put on Backboard, Carted Off After Scary Injury

Rice Owls quarterback Wiley Green was stretchered off the field late in the first quarter of Friday's game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Rice Stadium after being injured while attempting to score a rushing touchdown.

Green stayed on the ground after being tackled by multiple Wake Forest defenders. One of the tackles appeared to be to his upper body. It was a scary scene, according to the reports:

They’ve cut off Green’s jersey and are now unscrewing his helmet. You hope this is all precautionary.
