Robert Nkemdiche not expected to play against Texas A&M

Hugh Freeze said his star defensive tackle woke up Saturday morning with headaches and probably won't play.

A day after passing the last concussion protocol test, Robert Nkemdiche appears to be back on the shelf for the Texas A&M game. Hugh Freeze said in his pregame radio interview that the star Ole Miss defensive tackle woke up with headaches on Saturday and isn't expected to play.

Nkemdiche was questionable all week after banging his head on the turf and leaving the Memphis game. But news broke on Friday that he'd passed the final test and was cleared to play against the Aggies.
