Miss Receives Devastating Kewan Lacy Injury Update as Ole Miss Season Nears End
Lacy’s season likely over
Unless he makes an unlikely return, Lacy’s 2026 season ends with 78 carries for 388 yards and five touchdowns. He also recorded 10 receptions for 33 yards.
Future with Ole Miss uncertain
Lacy’s absence is a setback for Ole Miss as its regular season nears its end and its College Football Playoff hopes are limited. His injury also raises questions about whether he could have played his last game for the Rebels.
Lacy could enter the 2027 NFL Draft and forgo his senior season, but that remains only a possibility. No decision about his plans has been reported.
Expectations met injury setbacks
Lacy entered the season regarded as one of college football’s top running backs and a possible Heisman Trophy contender. The expectations followed a 2025 campaign in which he ran 306 times for 1,567 yards and 24 touchdowns.
His injury troubles began in the season opener against Louisville and continued through the shoulder injury suffered against Texas. The likely end to his season comes after a highly anticipated year.
