How C.J. Moore’s torn pectoral affects Ole Miss’ safety depth

The junior isn’t a starter, but what might be a season-ending injury could mean even less experience for an already green secondary.

Hugh Freeze confirmed after practice on Tuesday that Ole Miss safety C.J. Moore has undergone surgery on a torn pectoral muscle suffered in the first week of fall camp. Freeze, who said he’s waiting to “see how rehab comes,” couldn’t predict how long Moore would be out, though his reminder to the gathered media that the junior has a redshirt season available seems to reinforce The Clarion-Ledger’s report that Moore is expected to miss the entire season.
