CINCINNATI — Stalwart Cincinnati Bearcats guard Luke Kandra went down with what appeared to be a leg injury on Saturday night against Colorado.

The veteran blocker walked off under his own power in the first quarter but did return for the Bearcats' next series in Boulder. He played the majority of the game and then left again late in the fourth quarter, this time on a cart, according to radio play-by-play voice Dan Hoard.

Kandra has played over 1,300 snaps at Cincinnati since transferring in last season.

Check out video of Kandra walking off in the first quarter from Bearcat Journal's Keegan Knickoson:
