SMU Mustangs WR Reggie Roberson Jr. suffers noncontact knee injury vs. Memphis Tigers

College Football, SMU Mustangs

SMU wide receiver Reggie Roberson Jr. left the Mustangs' game against No. 25 Memphis late in the third quarter with a noncontact knee injury.

With the game tied at 27, SMU quarterback Shane Buechele found Roberson deep down the field for a 43-yard gain when the wide receiver went down untouched, grabbing his left knee. Roberson was helped off the field and later taken to the tunnel on a cart with a towel over his head.

Roberson left the game with five receptions for 243 yards and two touchdowns. He was just seven yards shy of his career-high for receiving yards in a game.

Coming into Saturday's game, Roberson had the most receptions for SMU with 17, second-most receiving yards with 231 and most receiving touchdowns with three.

Roberson, a senior, opted to bypass the NFL draft and return to SMU this season after missing the last five games of the 2019 season with a foot injury. He was a first-team preseason All-AAC pick and on the Biletnikoff Award watch list this season.
