Cincinnati Bearcats running back Cole Tabb left the field with an injury late in the third quarter of their game against No. 17 Houston. With 12:46 remaining in the period, Tabb was caught between two Houston defenders as JC French attempted a pass toward the Bearcats’ sideline. The UC Sports Medicine staff quickly surrounded him, and after a brief assessment, Tabb was able to walk to the sideline tent with assistance.
Tabb had been productive throughout the match. Before the injury, he had rushed for 60 yards and caught three passes for 34 yards, including a touchdown. His receiving touchdown came earlier in the game when French connected with Gavin Grover on a 34-yard scoring pass during the same series that followed Tabb’s exit. Gi'Bran Payne entered the game to replace Tabb.
This season, Tabb has scored 14 touchdowns for Cincinnati, with 10 rushing and four receiving. His total rushing yardage now stands at 752 yards, complemented by 17 receptions for 155 yards. The injury’s severity has not been officially reported, and the Bearcats’ medical team has yet to provide an update.
The Bearcats continue to face a tough Houston side ranked 17th nationally, and Tabb’s absence could affect their offensive approach. He has been a consistent contributor this year, leading the team in touchdowns and yardage.
Further details on Tabb’s condition and prognosis are expected as the Cincinnati Enquirer continues to follow the story. At present, the team is relying on backups to maintain their offensive rhythm against the Cougars.
