Morris collapsed while heading to the locker room at halftime of the Rebels’ 23-3 win over Texas A&M on Oct. 24. He was rushed to the hospital, and was diagnosed with a spinal cord contusion. He has not played since then.
Morris is a 6-foot-6, 313-pound junior from Memphis, Tenn. He primarily played on special teams for the Rebels.
Several Ole Miss fans tweeted messages of support to Morris.
