Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze informed reporters Wednesday that Nkemdiche was out of practice due to a “personal matter” and his status for Saturday against LSU was still uncertain.

The 22-year-old has been deemed questionable for Saturday’s SEC showdown with LSU.
Dr. Nkemdiche said Thursday that Denzel was “up and talking”.
Gates ranks third on the Rebels with 48 tackles, including seven on November 7 against Arkansas, despite only starting once this season. I think he ready for this challenge.
