I'll be back stronger and better than ever! I love all my Hailstate fam and all I want right now is for all of y'all to ring your bells as loud as you can and support this team to a huge egg bowl win! #HaiIState
Fitzgerald suffered the injury in the first quarter of the annual Egg Bowl game between Mississippi State and Ole Miss.

You never want to see injuries, but that often goes double in a big rivalry game such as this one. Fitzgerald seemed content while he was being carted off the field, but the raucous atmosphere that was in Davis-Wade Stadium before the injury clearly vanished after Fitzgerald was taken to the locker room.
We wish the quarterback the best in his recovery.
