Defensive back Picasso Nelson Jr., running back George Payne and wide receiver Chase Whitehead will miss the remainder of the 2017 season due to injury. Also, running back coach Lytrel Pollard who is taking indefinite leave due to health concerns.
“I would say probably so,” said Head Coach Jay Hopson on Nelson and Payne being out for the season. “I hate saying it officially, but Picasso probably is for sure. I don’t know about George yet. There’s a good chance of that.”
Nelson, an Oak Grove alum, missed the first three games of the season due to an unspecified injury.
