Original Report:
Earlier today, an Ole Miss football player was airfield to the hospital following an injury sustained during practice.�
Head coach Lane Kiffin opened his post-practice press conference by stating that freshman TE DaMarcus Thomas was �potentially severely injured� after taking a hit during practice.�
At the conclusion of the press conference, Kiffin returned to provide an update that Thomas did have �some movement and had some feeling in his body� before he was taken to the hospital. Details surrounding what happened are not known at this time, but Kiffin�s tone alluded to the severity of the injury after practice was cut short.�
�I don�t think there was any way to practice, seeing what we saw,�� he said. �To hear a player that you recruited�any player�but one that you recruited and they keep touching him asking, ‘Do you feel this?’ And he keeps saying, ‘No.’ Then you’re thinking about your own kid. I just called Knox’s mom and said I could care less whether he plays football ever after seeing that. Hopefully, this is some severe stinger. I did ask them, the medical staff, and they said that does happen sometimes. Just praying somehow that’s what it is.�
Thomas arrived in Oxford as a part of the Rebels� 2020 recruiting class out of Saraland, Alabama.�
