Things keeping going from bad to worse for Ole Miss. Embarrassing loss in the Swamp, showing our extreme lack of depth on the OL. Playing tons of Freshman on the line, guys not playing their natural position, missed blocks, and guys playing injured.
Add to this CJ Johnson the senior captain of our defense, is down 4-6 weeks with a torn meniscus. Same injury Tony Conner is out with. So he will miss A&M and Auburn, possibly be back before the LSU game where he would have to face Fournette, or be back for the Egg Bowl. I hate to see the guy get hurt, he's a genuinely good guy and has already missed significant playing time with a injury 2 years ago.
Reports Tee Shepherd is about to quit the team as well. Supposedly his hearing impairment is not allowing him to hear checks from the sidelines, when the offense moves men in motion. He's complaining about lack of playing time as well as Kendarius Webster has been in his starting spot.
So that moves out total number of injured / missing players to:
Defense: Tony Conner / CJ Johnson / Issac Gross / possibly Tee Shepherd
Offense: Tunsil (OL) (eat a dick NCAA) / Bell (OL) / Rawlings (OL) - Playing hurt / Conyers (OL) - Playing hurt / Rod Taylor (OL) - Just came back and playing hurt
Just can't seem to catch a break with injuries these past few years. Hugh's missed out on a few OL, but the lack of recruiting along the offensive line and linebacks is really showing right now.
