Rebels adapt to injuries for game against Vanderbilt

The Ole Miss football team started off the season relatively well in terms of injuries, but the Alabama game was more rough than the first two weeks.

Junior safety Tony Conner, senior offensive lineman Justin Bell, freshman offensive lineman Rod Taylor and junior Robert Conyers also sustained injuries against the Crimson Tide.

Conner went through successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus this week, leaving him out for a minimum of four weeks. Head coach Hugh Freeze gave an update on Conner after the surgery.

“Doctors felt really good about it and he was in good spirits last night, so hopefully we can get him back quickly,” Freeze said.
