Story summary

On Saturday during the second quarter of Cincinnati's 45-42 loss to West Virginia, defensive tackle Josh Hough suffered an apparent left leg injury and was taken off the field on a medical cart. A West Virginia staffer driving the cart accidentally backed it into a wall at Milan Puskar Stadium, causing additional pain for the 335-pound player as his injured foot hit the wall. The incident, captured by TNT, led to Hough being ruled out for the remainder of the game with a lower-body injury. While it's unclear if the collision caused further damage to his already-injured leg, social media users expressed disbelief at the unfortunate sequence of events.
