- Kewan Lacy was downgraded to doubtful on the SEC injury report and is not expected to play vs No. 21 Florida on Saturday, per Ole Miss coach Pete Golding to ESPN, after suffering a left shoulder injury in last week's game against LSU.
- Golding told ESPN 'We still have another chapel session, so I'm not giving up yet,' cracking the door open on Lacy playing despite the doubtful designation.
- JT Lindsey, a sophomore and former LSU transfer with 48 yards on 12 carries this season, and Makhi Frazier, a junior who transferred from Michigan State with 38 yards on nine carries, will split carries if Lacy sits.
- Lacy has 39 carries for 191 yards and four touchdowns in 2025; he was an All-America pick and Doak Walker Award finalist last season when he set program records with 306 attempts, 1,567 yards, and 24 touchdowns.
- Lacy had X-rays after the LSU game and an MRI on Sunday; he also exited the season opener vs Louisville with a thigh bruise but returned the next week with two rushing touchdowns against Charlotte.
- Florida WR Eric Singleton Jr., who has yet to debut for the Gators due to a sprained left ankle, is a game-time decision, though coach Jon Sumrall told ESPN he 'feels decent' about his chances to play.
- Singleton spent one season at Auburn after two years at Georgia Tech and caught 58 passes for 534 yards and three touchdowns for the Tigers in 2025.
Why it matters: Losing a 1,567-yard, 24-touchdown workhorse reshapes Ole Miss's offense against a top-25 opponent, forcing the Rebels to rely on Lindsey and Frazier, who have combined for just 86 rushing yards this season. Florida, meanwhile, could add a 58-catch playmaker to its passing game if Singleton clears his ankle in time.
