Brown was injured while trying to make a touchdown catch. His leg bent awkwardly after he got it caught on a Notre Dame defender.

Teammates surrounded Brown as the Arkansas medical staff attended to him on the field. After he was carted off, he was reportedly taken to a nearby hospital for X-rays.
