Minnesota Golden Gophers defensive lineman Jaylin Hicks was carted off the field with an air cast on his leg during a game on November 7, 2026, according to a report by USA TODAY Sports.
The injury occurred in the first half, and Hicks was immediately attended to by medical staff before being placed on a cart. The air cast suggests a potential lower leg or ankle injury, though the team has not released an official diagnosis or timetable for his return.
Hicks, a key contributor on the defensive line, has started all games this season. His absence could impact Minnesota's defensive front as they prepare for upcoming conference matchups.
