Illinois Football: Illini CB Marquez Beason leaves practice with injury

According to Erich Fisher of Rivals, and other media outlets, Illinois cornerback Marquez Beason was carted off the field today with what looks to be a knee injury. He reportedly came back to practice sporting a knee brace and crutches. He did finish watching the entire practice.

In a latter tweet by Fisher, head coach Lovie Smith also said of the knee injury that Beason didn’t finish practice, so that is concerning. It was a routine play.

When I first saw these tweets, I had to look away and then look back to make sure I was reading this right and not just imagining things.
