The shoulder never came round
Ole Miss had hoped to get Kewan Lacy back for the stretch run. It will not happen. The junior running back is done for the season with the left shoulder he dislocated on Oct. 24 in the loss at Texas, On3 reported on Thursday.
Lacy has already been ruled out of Saturday’s trip to Oklahoma, which will be the third straight game he has missed. The No. 19 Rebels sit at 6-3 overall and 4-3 in the SEC.

From 24 touchdowns to five
The scale of the loss is clearer when this season is set against the last one. In 2025, his first year in Oxford after a freshman season at Missouri, Lacy ran for 1,567 yards and 24 touchdowns and earned first-team All-American and All-SEC honours.
His 2026 never reached that level. He finishes with 78 carries for 388 yards and five touchdowns in six games, roughly five yards a carry but a long way from the workload he carried a year earlier.
Who carries it now
Makhi Frazier and Shekai Mills-Knight have split the work since the injury. Frazier has 365 rushing yards but has yet to find the end zone, while Mills-Knight has 165 yards and three touchdowns. A road game in Norman is a stiff test for a backfield still looking for a lead option.
