Ole Miss injury update: Status revealed for Tre Harris, Zakhari Franklin and Caden Prieskorn, per report

Ole Miss injuries have been a concern this week as the Rebels look for an upset at Alabama.

Now more clarity was understood Saturday morning as ESPN’s Chris Low reported that WRs Tre Harris and Zakhari Franklin, and TE Caden Prieskorn are all doubtful, and if they play, will be limited against the Crimson Tide.

Franklin is recovering from August knee surgery, while Harris is also dealing with a knee injury after he missed last week’s game against Georgia Tech. Prieskorn has a foot injury.

In place of Harris, WR Jordan Watkins has stepped up since Harris’ injury, according to coach Lane Kiffin. Watkins has 15 catches for 290 yards, including a career-high 119 against Georgia Tech.

More will be known closer to game time, but sources tell ESPN that @OleMissFB WRs Tre Harris and Zakhari Franklin and TE Caden Prieskorn are doubtful vs. Alabama with injuries. All three practiced some this week. If they’re able to play, it would likely be on a limited basis.
