COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Missouri cornerback Munir Prince is finished with football after a preseason injury that could cause severe harm if he continues playing.

Prince was injured in Missouri's final preseason practice when he collided with a teammate while covering a punt. He was diagnosed with transient quadriplegia, a temporary loss of sensation and movement in the arms and legs. He was hospitalized for two days.

The St. Louis native and Notre Dame transfer was primarily a special teams player in 2009. Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said Prince should have no long-term health risks as a result of the injury.

Sad to see this, but I am happy he isn't going to have any physical long term damage... Once part of the Irish Family, always part of the Irish family.

Best of luck to him. Football isnt everything.
