The injury was sustained on the last play of the first half, and the medical staff spent several minutes with Walker before bringing out a stretcher and loading him into an ambulance. According to a report from ESPN.com, it didn't appear as though Walker had moved while being treated on the field.

The helmet-to-helmet contact occurred with teammate Julius Warmsley as the two converged on Tulsa fullback Willie Carter.

Walker is a three-year letterman with the Green Wave and recorded 47 tackles in his first year as a starter last season.

Tulsa leads the Green Wave 35-3 at the end of the third quarter, and play has since resumed in Tulsa.
