Ole Miss DB Tony Conner out at least 4 weeks with torn meniscus

The Rebs' star defensive back is undergoing surgery. Let's hope he's back in time for A&M.

We knew that cage fight in Tuscaloosa had taken a physical toll, but we were hoping not to get news like this. Hugh Freeze confirmed Monday that Ole Miss defensive back Tony Conner, who plenty of folks have pegged as a first-round NFL Draft pick, is undergoing surgery on Tuesday for a torn meniscus in his knee. He's expected to miss at least four weeks.

Four weeks means he'll miss games against Vandy, Florida, New Mexico State and Memphis, none of which has an offense in the top 75 of S&P+.
