Mississippi State senior wideout Jameon Lewis, the team’s leading receiver, will not play in this afternoon’s game against No. 6 Texas A&M due to a right leg injury, according to the Clarion-Ledger’s Mike Bonner.

Lewis’ absence could loom large for the Bulldogs, as he and fellow starting wideout De’Runnya Wilson have been significantly more productive than the rest of MSU’s corps. of receivers. Lewis leads the team with 15 catches for 223 yards and a touchdown. Aside from Lewis and Wilson, no other Mississippi State pass-catcher has more than six catches through four games.

Fred Brown, Robert Johnson and Fred Ross could all take on larger roles in the offense in Lewis’ absence.
