AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn Tigers running back Kerryon Johnson left against the Georgia Southern Eagles with an apparent hamstring injury.
Johnson pulled up 34 yards into what appeared a sure touchdown run in the second quarter Saturday night. He went down to the ground and then limped off the field, favoring his right leg.
Auburn's radio announcers reported it was a hamstring injury and said he wouldn't return in the game.
Johnson gained 136 yards on 16 carries for an already short-handed Auburn backfield.
He started with Kamryn Pettway held out for undisclosed reasons.
