OXFORD, Miss. — Mississippi quarterback Shea Patterson will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
The school announced on Sunday that an MRI revealed a torn posterior cruciate ligament in Patterson's right knee. The sophomore appeared to suffer the injury during the second quarter of the Rebels' 40-24 loss to No. 24 LSU on Saturday night.
He missed the final offensive drive of the first half, leaving to go to the locker room a few minutes before halftime, but returned to play during the second half with a brace on his right knee.
Patterson is leading the Southeastern Conference with 2,259 yards passing.
