Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin announced Saturday morning that he has tested positive for Covid-19 and will not be accompanying his team to Atlanta for Monday night’s Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game against Louisville.
“I am disappointed to confirm that I have developed a breakthrough case of COVID and will not accompany our team to Atlanta,” Kiffin said in a statement. “I am grateful to be vaccinated and experiencing only mild symptoms. So much so, I debated over being tested; but I’m relieved that I did. I’m proud of our program’s commitment to vaccination and as a result there are currently no other cases to report or team members expected to miss the game.
