The Ole Miss WR injury “looked pretty bad,” says Lane Kiffin

Ole Miss football star Tre Harris appeared to aggravate the groin injury that has kept him out of action in recent weeks and will not return to Saturday’s game against Florida.

Harris was seen in street clothes on the Ole Miss sideline after returning from the locker room, where his latest injury was being assessed by trainers.

“I don’t know any more than you do,” Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin told ESPN’s Molly McGrath at halftime.

“It looked pretty bad. We have to let other guys play, and we’ve done that without him for four games.”

Harris took a big hit in the second quarter of Saturday’s game and needed some attention as he lay on the court after the collision.

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart was in the area where Harris was being treated and placed his hands on either side of his helmet in apparent distress as he observed the situation.

Harris was able to get up after the incident and, accompanied by a team trainer, limped to the Rebels’ locker room and received further medical evaluation.

Immediately after the injury, Harris grabbed the right side of the area around where his hip and groin meet, the same location of the injury he suffered in the loss to LSU on October 12.

McGrath reported that Ole Miss trainers heavily wrapped the area and speculated that the player had re-aggravated the injury.

Harris was an integral part of the Ole Miss offense this season, leading the team and the SEC in production despite missing more than a month of action.

Prior to his departure on Saturday, Harris caught a 43-yard touchdown pass from Dart that tied the game, 7-7, in the second quarter.
