Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss Injures His Left Thigh at No. 21 Florida but Returns to Game
Chambliss was evaluated on the sideline after taking a hit to the ribs and left thigh, then returned for Ole Miss on the next series.
On Saturday, Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss suffered a first-quarter injury during the game against Florida in Gainesville, Fla., but returned to the field shortly after.
Chambliss took a knee to his side rib area on an 11-yard scramble with just over 6 minutes left in the 1st quarter, prompting backup Deuce Alexander to step in for the series.
The fourth-ranked Rebels trailed 10-0 before the injury, facing added pressure while already playing without star running back Kewan Lacy due to a shoulder injury.
Trainers worked on Chambliss's thigh while he rode a stationary bike and practiced dropbacks with quarterback coach Joe Judge on the sideline.
The Heisman Trophy front-runner's return provides critical momentum for Ole Miss as the Rebels attempt to overcome the early deficit against the Gators in Gainesville.
