Ole Miss Injury Report Shows Ferrelli, Crawford Probable
Ole Miss released its availability report ahead of Saturday's game against No. 2 Georgia, with running back Kewan Lacy ruled out.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Football
Ole Miss released its initial availability report Wednesday for its Week 10 matchup against No. 2 Georgia. Linebacker Luke Ferrelli and cornerback Jalyn Crawford are listed as probable after being limited by injuries against Auburn, while running back Kewan Lacy is out with a shoulder injury.
Why it matters
The status of Ferrelli and Crawford gives Ole Miss fans a clearer picture of the defense heading into a top-10 matchup against the second-ranked Bulldogs. Lacy's absence continues a run of injury problems for the backfield.
Kewan Lacy will miss his third game this season, while Ole Miss (ranked No. 10) faces Georgia (ranked No. 2) at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC. Neither the report nor the team's listing addresses how Ferrelli and Crawford's ankle and shoulder injuries will affect their snap counts.

Season Trajectory
Ole Miss enters a ranked Southeastern Conference matchup against No. 2 Georgia with its depth chart shaped by injuries that have accumulated across the season. Lacy's third missed game and the limited status of two starters on defense will test the team's depth in a conference race where a win over a top-two opponent would carry significant weight.
Fantasy managers tracking Ole Miss defensive players should monitor whether Ferrelli and Crawford take the field at full strength on Saturday. Kewan Lacy's absence removes a backfield option from the Rebels' offense for another game.
The takeaway
Injury reports released mid-week give fans and fantasy players the most reliable signal of who will actually play, so checking the final status closer to kickoff is worthwhile. Ole Miss's defensive availability against Georgia will be the clearest test of its depth.
What happens next
Ole Miss plays No. 2 Georgia on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC, when the probable status of Ferrelli and Crawford will be tested.
