The Rebels were without Kewan Lacy in the contest. They ran the ball 31 times, including sacks, for just 66 yards.Now, the running game took another hit on Thursday with an update on the Rebels’ star running back, according to Pete Nakos of On3.“Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season due to injury, ” Nakos wrote.Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)Lacy has not played since October 24 against Texas, when he dislocated his shoulder. He had previously missed the game against Florida after being injured against LSU the week before. He returned against Vanderbilt. Overall, he ran the ball 78 times for 388 yards and five touchdowns. Further, he caught ten receptions for 33 yards. Lacy had already been ruled out for this week against Oklahoma, and now his absence will extend to the rest of the season.This is not a complete surprise based on the update head coach Pete Golding gave following the game against Texas.“Obviously he’s not going to play this week, and then we’re going to evaluate that moving forward what that looks like,” Golding said. “So, I know [I] normally wouldn’t tell you that, but there’s no chance that we’re going to try that at all this week. He’s still [going] through the rehab process. We’re still getting some MRIs and all that stuff, but it was definitely a different injury than what it was.”Lacy was coming off a dominant 2025 season in which he ran for 1,567 yards and 24 touchdowns. This led to All-American honors for the running back. He is eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft and could still be one of the top running backs picked if he chooses to go pro. He could also decide to return to school for another season.With Lacy out of the lineup, Makhi Frazier and Shekai Mills-Knight will be the primary backs. Frazier has run for 375 yards but has not scored. Meanwhile, Mills-Knight has run for 165 yards and three scores this year.Ole Miss returns to the field on Saturday, visiting Oklahoma.Related: Jackson State back on top, UAPB on track in latest Celebration Bowl projectionsRelated: Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman pays tribute to Dan Hicks after tragic passing
