South Carolina junior wide receiver Terry Googer was injured Saturday in the Gamecocks’ game at Texas A&M.

He was hurt on special teams during the first quarter as he fell to the ground making a block. It was not immediately clear what the injury was, but his helmet, pads and jersey were removed and he was placed on a stretcher and taken out of Kyle Field on a cart.

Googer showed a thumbs up as he left the field, and South Carolina later reported that he had movement in all of his extremities. USC in the second half reported that Googer had been released from the hospital and was on his way back to the stadium.

“He took a pretty good shot,” coach Will Muschamp said on SEC Network at halftime. “He’s going to be fine.”

Googer is from Atlanta.
