Hugh Freeze and Denzel's parents released a statement about the linebacker's condition.
The issue that landed Denzel Nkemdiche in an Oxford hopital is not life threatening, Hugh Freeze revealed in a joint statement with the linebacker's parents on Thursday afternoon.
His well-being is all that matters right now, and we are making sure he receives the highest level of medical care. While his condition is not life-threatening, he will not play this weekend. We thank the Ole Miss family for their concern and encouragement, and we appreciate everyone respecting the family's privacy during this time.
