Ole Miss star wide receiver Tre Harris reminded fans what they have been missing for more than a month after scoring a 43-yard touchdown in the second quarter of Saturday's road game against Florida, but misfortune has painfully struck again.

Harris aggravated the groin/hip injury that sidelined him for the Rebels' last three games and headed to the locker room, per ESPN's Pete Thamel (originally reported by Molly McGrath. He will not return for the remainder of the game.

Although Ole Miss has surged back into the College Football Playoff picture in the senior's absence, Lane Kiffin's squad cannot truly ascend to its ceiling without him. Harris displays scintillating chemistry with quarterback Jaxson Dart, recording 60 catches for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns this season (at time of print). He was the nation's receiving yards leader before first sustaining his injury.

The Rebels are in must-win mode for the remainder of 2024 after being stunned by Kentucky at home in September and losing a heartbreaker to LSU in October. Considering they end the regular season versus Mississippi State in the annual Egg Bowl, their last true obstacle to the CFP is the Gators.

Florida is running with momentum following its upset victory over LSU last weekend and is making life difficult for Kiffin and company. It leads Ole Miss 17-14 during the second half in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at time of print. Dart is 18-of-28 passing for 256 yards and two touchdowns (also has 30 rushing yards), but he can surely use his top receiver right about now.

Hopefully, Tre Harris is able to make a swift recovery and rejoin his teammates on the field in the near future. In the meanwhile, Ole Miss is just trying to survive The Swamp.
