The Ole Miss football program is hitting the pause button this week.
Out of an abundance of caution, all team activities were canceled on Wednesday due to contact tracing surrounding a small number of positive COVID-19 tests among players and staff.
Head coach Lane Kiffin told local media on Monday there were “a few” positive COVID-19 tests among players on Sunday following the Rebels’ Egg Bowl win over Mississippi State on Saturday.
More positive tests were revealed yesterday, which prompted the program to take another round of tests around noon on Wednesday.
“It is not enough to where we would not play right now but our concern is obviously the spreading of that,” Kiffin said on Wednesday.
