Ole Miss continues to deal with COVID-19 as new cases arise

Ole Miss was down two key defensive players last week against Arkansas and could possibly be without more against Auburn on Saturday.

Last Wednesday, Lane Kiffin said the football program was dealing with a COVID-19 “issue” for the first time since fall camp concluded last month. The results of that issue included cornerback Jakorey Hawkins and defensive end Tariqious Tisdale not playing against the Razorbacks.

During his regular Monday press conference, Kiffin stated they were still dealing with the issue as more positive tests were reported within the program over the weekend.

“We got some more in the last three days,” Kiffin said.
