Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy out for the season with shoulder injury
Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy will miss the rest of the season with a left shoulder injury.
He has not played since dislocating the shoulder in a loss to Texas on Oct.
24.
Lacy finishes with 388 rushing yards and five touchdowns in six games, after a breakout 2025 season with 1,567 yards and 24 touchdowns.
His injuries have reduced his playing time and weakened his NFL draft prospects, though analysts differ on how highly he is rated.
Ole Miss’s rushing attack has dropped off as Lacy has struggled to stay healthy, and freshman Shekai Mills-Knight and junior Makhi Frazier have taken on bigger roles.
Lacy can return to college, transfer or enter the 2027 NFL draft, with one season of eligibility remaining.
His choice will depend in part on whether another college season could improve his draft position and whether he is willing to risk another injury.
