Freshman defensive back Jalen Watts-Jackson lays on the ground after running the game winning touchdown on Oct. 17, 2015, after the game against Michigan at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. The Spartans defeated the Wolverines, 27-23.
MSU defensive back Jalen Watts-Jackson was the hero of MSU's miraculous 27-23 victory against in-state rival Michigan Saturday night. Watts-Jackson scooped up a muffed punt and returned it all the way to the house for a game-winning 38-yard score.
However, at the tail end of the play, Watts-Jackson suffered a hip injury and was rushed to the hospital directly after the game.
According to a tweet by Watts-Jackson's sister, he had surgery in the morning and will miss the rest of the season.
