Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa was carted off the field during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington, Ind., with an apparent right knee injury.
Tagovailoa went down in obvious pain when an Indiana defender fell into his knee as he completed a throw to Jacob Copeland.
Freshman Billy Edwards Jr., a transfer from Wake Forest, entered for Tagovailoa with roughly 12 minutes left in regulation and Maryland trailing 27-24 and would finish the drive that ended with a Roman Hemby 6-yard scoring run and a 31-27 lead.
Tagovailoa is the younger brother of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. In his third year in Maryland, Tagovailoa entered the week ranked second in the Big Ten with 1,731 passing yards and third in the country with a 74.1 percent completion rate.
He was 25 of 39 for 270 yards and two touchdown passes along with a 3-yard rushing score at the time of his exit.
