UConn football wide receiver Javon Brown sustained a scary injury in the Huskies' home game against Syracuse on Saturday.

The 6-foot-4 wide receiver went up for a pass from quarterback Kalieb Osborne in the end zone during the third quarter and sustained an injury in the process, resulting in Brown standing down on the field for an extended period of time.

He was eventually stretchered off the field, with teammates seen rushing over to him as he exited the field in East Hartford.
