USC wide receiver Makai Lemon exited Saturday's 27-24 loss to Michigan with an apparent injury after he was hit hard during a punt return in the first half.
Lemon did not return to the game, and according to the CBS broadcast, he was taken away in an ambulance. USC did not provide an official update on Lemon's status before the end of the game.
The sophomore wideout spent an extended amount of time lying down on the field after the injury while surrounded by several members of USC's training and coaching staff before walking off under his own power. He entered the injury tent and then was taken into the locker room.
Tight end Lake McRee and safety Akili Arnold also exited the game in the second half with apparent left leg and arm injuries, respectively. The broadcast showed McRee visibly emotional on the bench before he walked into the tunnel to the locker room.
USC head coach Lincoln Riley did not provide any updates regarding the injured players postgame.
McRee has been a mainstay of USC's offense early on, accounting for 137 yards on nine receptions so far this season.
Lemon has caught four passes for 45 yards and a touchdown for USC this season. Last year, Lemon played both wide receiver and cornerback. As a receiver, Lemon had six catches for 88 yards.
