USC could be down one tight end for fall camp as freshman Josh Falo went down with a lower body injury on Friday during USC’s first full pads practice.
“He’s going to get an MRI on his knee and see where it’s at,” head coach Clay Helton said after practice.
Falo went down during a 11-on-11 and had to be tended to by trainers.
Despite the obvious concern regarding a knee injury, Helton assuaged some fears.
“I don’t think it’s major but we’re going to check it out,” he said.
