- Kewan Lacy left Saturday's win over LSU in the third quarter after landing hard on his left shoulder, having already piled up 43 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries.
- Pete Golding confirmed Lacy's X-rays were negative but offered no timeline update, noting only that his RB1 wanted to re-enter the game and play through the pain.
- Lacy rushed for a single-season program-record 1,567 yards and an SEC-leading 24 touchdowns for last season's playoff-bound Rebels, and also left the season opener against Louisville with a thigh bruise.
- JT Lindsey, a sophomore and former LSU signee, handled the second-half backfield duties with five touches for 28 scrimmage yards after Lacy exited.
- Makhi Frazier (520 rushing yards last fall at Michigan State) and Joshua Dye (28 touchdowns, 1,800-plus yards, FCS All-American at Southern Utah) round out the depth chart behind Lacy and Lindsey.
- Ole Miss will issue its initial SEC player availability report Wednesday evening; the conference updates designations nightly, with final listings due 90 minutes before kickoff.
- Ole Miss opened as a 2.5-point underdog at Florida this week, with the line since moving to 3.5 points.
Why it matters: Negative X-rays and Lacy's stated desire to play through the injury are bullish signs, but with a top-tier running back who carried the offense last season banged up two weeks in a row, the Rebels' depth chart — featuring three transfers, including an FCS All-American — faces its first real stress test against a ranked Florida team they are 3.5-point underdogs against.
