Ole Miss has lost its fair share of significant players this season, from starting corner Ken Webster to promising young offensive weapons Eric Swinney and D.K. Metcalf to the offensive line, which saw three starters sit out Saturday’s game against Georgia Southern. It’s the latest injury, however, that it truly can’t afford: star quarterback Chad Kelly will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury, Chuck Rounsaville of the Ole Miss Spirit has confirmed.
Kelly didn’t return against Georgia Southern after taking a hard but rather innocuous hit during the third quarter of Saturday’s 37-27 win.
