Texas A&M senior Bryce Anderson suffered a serious injury after a collision with Notre Dame tight end Eli Rairdon in the second quarter of Saturday's game against Notre Dame. 

After halftime, NBC reported Anderson had been taken to local hospital and had feeling in all of his limbs.

Anderson hit Rairdon after a deep pass, and his helmet appeared to be down on the hit. According to Inside Zone's Matt Fortuna, "Texas A&M medical personnel took Anderson's face-mask off." He was in a neck brace but gave a thumb's up when being carted off the field. 

Anderson – a senior safety – had six tackles in Texas A&M's first two games.
