An Ole Miss team that can’t afford any more physical or emotional setbacks just suffered another one. John Youngblood, a senior who wears Chucky Mullins’ revered No. 38 jersey, was carted off the field with what appeared to be a serious leg injury during the first quarter against Georgia Southern.
Youngblood is a defensive end by trade, but was playing linebacker when he took a shot to his leg while trying to make a tackle on the Rebels’ second defensive possession. The medical team was on the field quickly and applied an air cast before loading him onto the cart.
