Ole Miss star Lacy exits with shoulder injury

Ole Miss star Kewan Lacy left Saturday's first-round CFP matchup versus Tulane late in the third quarter with a shoulder injury.

Lacy initially suffered the injury in the second quarter, heading to the medical tent on the final drive of the half. The running back would return after halftime, with the TNT broadcast relaying that he had been offered a shoulder harness but declined to use one.

Lacy played almost the entirety of the third quarter before heading to the sideline in pain in the final minute.

The breakout rusher made his usual impact early against the Green Wave, scoring a touchdown on the third play of the game. He departed with 87 yards rushing in the game and the Rebels leading 27-3.

Head coach Pete Golding confirmed to On3's Chris Low that it was a bruised shoulder for Lacy and that he would be further evaluated.

The hosts would see out the victory without Lacy, eventually winning 41-10 to setup a quarterfinal rematch against Georgia.
