Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor left a game against Oklahoma on Saturday after an attempt to return from injury proved unsuccessful, according to a wire report from ABC News.

The ABC News report, as summarized in the material available to The Continental Gazette, describes Taylor's effort to come back from injury as unsuccessful and places that effort within the game against Oklahoma. The summary does not say what the injury was, which part of the contest it occurred in, or the timing of Taylor's departure.

The same summary does not describe the state of the game when Taylor departed, nor does it give the outcome. The headline and summary together identify the two teams and the setting only as a game, and they name no city, venue, or time beyond the reference to Saturday.

The Gazette found no other account of Taylor's departure in the material it reviewed, so the single ABC News report is the basis for every fact in this story. Where the report is silent, this story is silent as well, and it offers no cause, diagnosis, or assessment of Taylor's condition.

Mississippi State and Oklahoma are the two teams named in the report's headline, and the summary identifies Taylor as Mississippi State's quarterback. The material provided carries no byline for the ABC News report, so attribution in this story rests on the outlet's name alone.

The summary states the central development in a single sentence, which means the report's account of the injury, the return attempt, and the departure from the game is brief. The full ABC News story is linked above for readers who want its complete wording.
