Matt Luke announces WR D.K. Metcalf will miss the rest of the season due to injury
Ole Miss got its first SEC win of the season on Saturday against Arkansas in Little Rock but it came at a heavy price.
During his Monday media availability, Matt Luke announced receiver D.K. Metcalf has been lost for the season due to a neck injury.
“D.K. Metcalf hurt his neck, and it is worse than we originally thought,” Luke revealed on Monday. “He’ll be done for the season…Long-term, he’ll bounce back and he’ll be fine. We’ll make sure he gets the very best care.”
Metcalf was having a great season for the Rebels as he had hauled in 26 catches for 569 yards and five touchdowns in seven games this season. In his three-year career at Ole Miss, Metcalf has 67 catches for 1,228 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Metcalf is an Oxford native and was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team as a redshirt sophomore in 2017.
