Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding confirmed that junior running back Kewan Lacy’s left‑shoulder injury is still being evaluated ahead of the Rebels’ Saturday game against the Florida Gators in Gainesville. Lacy was knocked out in the third quarter of the 32‑24 victory over LSU, after rushing for 43 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.
Medical update
The player underwent an MRI on Sunday. While the scan did not reveal a fracture and X‑rays were reported as negative, doctors are monitoring the situation throughout the week. Golding said the injury is not expected to sideline Lacy long‑term, but his availability for the Gators matchup remains uncertain.
Impact on the Rebels
Through Ole Miss’ 3‑0 start, Lacy, a 2025 Doak Walker Award finalist, has accumulated 191 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 39 carries. If he is unable to play, sophomore JT Lindsey, who managed 20 yards on four carries against LSU, is likely to see increased action in the backfield.
Upcoming game
The Rebels, ranked No. 4, travel to Gainesville to face No. 21 Florida, also unbeaten at 3‑0. The game is scheduled for Saturday and will be a key early‑season test for both programs.
