Ole Miss Rebels TE DaMarcus Thomas airlifted to hospital after hit in practice

Ole Miss freshman tight end DaMarcus Thomas had to be airlifted to the hospital after sustaining a serious injury during practice on Monday that left him without any feeling in his body.

Coach Lane Kiffin was visibly upset as he met with reporters during his regularly scheduled news conference, saying Thomas was "potentially severely injured."

"DaMarcus Thomas was hit and hasn't moved since," he said. "The helicopter is on its way now.

"Obviously I'll answer questions. I've gotta do my job about the game or whatever it is, but nothing seems very important right now because he got hit and never moved and hasn't had any feeling in his entire body.
