Rutgers loses star WR Janarion Grant to serious-looking injury

At first blush, it doesn’t look good at all for one of the most explosive and productive players in the Big Ten.

Late in the first half of the Iowa game, Rutgers’ Janarion Grant took a short screen pass and turned it into a spectacular 76-yard play. At the end of the catch-and-run, however, Grant sustained what looked to be a serious injury to his right leg.

He could put no wait on the injured limb, and will not return to the game. The extent and nature of the injury likely won’t be known until after the game, although, again, it doesn’t look good.
