LaNorris Sellers injury update: South Carolina QB explains what took him out of LSU game
LaNorris Sellers suffered an ankle injury in South Carolina’s 36-33 loss to LSU Saturday and did not play in the second half.
Robby Ashford took over and nearly led the Gamecocks to victory. Sellers explained after the game why he was out and couldn’t come back.
The good news is Sellers seems to be good and should be fine, according to his statement.
“I think he just rolled up on my ankle, and then it’s kind of like my ankle – in the moment it was just like it was hurt,” Sellers said. “At halftime, they just took the tape off, looked at it, then they retaped it and figured out that nothing was really wrong. I was good to go.”
While he was testing out his ankle, Sellers explained what was going through his head.
“At the beginning, once they rewrapped it and everything, it was a different kind of tape that they used,” Sellers said. “I was just getting frustrated getting used to that because I wasn’t really used to the specific tape that they used. But after I had it on for a little bit, they told me it’s gonna take a while for me to get adjusted to it.
“And they put it on. I used it, and after you saw me frustrated, I was fine. Like five, 10 minutes after that I was fine.”
Sellers even tried to get back on the field, but understood the decision.

“Yeah, you want to play,” Sellers said. “So I was doing that. But obviously, Robby’s out there, he was running the offense, he was moving the ball and stuff like that. The penalties just killed the drives …
