UM football player airlifted to hospital following serious injury during practice

Ole Miss freshman DaMarcus Thomas was airlifted to the hospital during Monday morning practice after he became motionless and unresponsive to feeling in his body, head coach Lane Kiffin said in a press conference.

Kiffin said he was hit and could not move for a long period of time until he regained movement just before he was taken away in the helicopter. Thomas’s injury is still unknown.

Practice ended immediately as Kiffin and the team waited for the ambulance to arrive. Kiffin said he had never seen an injury like this before and referenced his own son during the presser.
