UPDATE: White ended up returning to the game and even scored the game-winning touchdown.

White finished the contest with 10 carries for 65 yards and the touchdown. He also had two catches for one yard.

END OF UPDATE

White stayed down on the field after recovering the fumble but was able to walk off under his own power, which is a good sign. That said, with it being so late in the game, he might've seen his last snap.

The exact injury remains unknown as of this writing. We'll update this page once more information is available.
