OXFORD, Miss. (AP) Mississippi receiver D.K. Metcalf is out for the season after suffering a neck injury against Arkansas.
Coach Matt Luke said on Monday that Metcalf was hurt early in the Arkansas game on Saturday, which Ole Miss won 37-33. Luke said the injury wasn’t initially thought to be serious, but tests revealed the damage.
Luke says that ”long-term he’s going to be fine but I think it’s going to require surgery.”
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Metcalf currently ranks third in the Southeastern Conference with 569 yards receiving. He’s caught 26 passes, including five touchdowns, which leads the team. The explosive receiver was part of a productive Ole Miss trio that includes A.J. Brown and DaMarkus Lodge.
Luke says receivers Braylon Sanders and Elijah Moore could see an expanded role in Metcalf’s absence.
