Green’s departure came with LSU trailing 24-21 and fewer than 13 minutes remaining, before the Tigers’ comeback produced the tying field goal.
LSU tight end Trey'Dez Green was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of a 32-24 loss to Ole Miss after suffering a lower-body injury. The Baton Rouge native, wearing LSU's coveted No. 7 jersey, took two low hits from Ole Miss defenders following a 19-yard catch with fewer than 13 minutes remaining. Athlon Sports reported that Green remained on the field for several minutes while being treated before walking toward the sideline with medical staff, visibly in pain.
Green had been one of LSU's most productive receivers before the injury, finishing with four catches for 60 yards in the loss. He entered the game with 10 catches for 162 yards and a touchdown across the Tigers' first two contests. Kansas.com noted that LSU managed to tie the game 24-24 with a field goal after Green's departure, but Ole Miss extended their lead to 32-24 with a late touchdown and two-point conversion.
A Baton Rouge Star Sidelined at a Critical Moment
Green's injury came during LSU's second-half rally from an early 17-0 deficit. The tight end had emerged as one of coach Lane Kiffin's top playmakers through varied deployment across the field. Before the season, Green explained how Kiffin's scheme was creating openings: "He has been moving me around the whole field. I don't think I have lined up in the same formation each drive." That versatility had made him dangerous, but it could not protect him from the Ole Miss pass rush.
The Hit That Ended Green's Game
The injury occurred when Green caught a 19-yard pass and was immediately hit low by two Ole Miss defenders in succession. Centre Daily reported that Green was initially evaluated on the field, with early confusion about whether the injury involved his abdomen. Medical staff soon determined that his right leg was the actual problem. Green was helped to his feet but could not continue playing.
His departure marked a turning point in the game's final stretch. LSU had been trailing 24-21 when Green went down with about 12 minutes left in regulation. The Tigers scored a field goal to tie at 24-24 after he left the field, but without their top receiver and a clean bill of health, they could not complete the comeback against Ole Miss.
Ole Miss Pulls Away in the Game's Final Minutes
Bellingham Herald noted that Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss scored on a 14-yard scramble to put the Rebels back ahead after LSU's tying field goal. The Rebels then converted a two-point conversion to extend their lead to 32-24. LSU could not answer, and the Tigers fell to No. 8 Ole Miss despite a valiant second-half effort that saw them claw back from a 24-7 halftime deficit.
Green's injury status remained uncertain as of the latest updates. Ledger-Enquirer reported that the extent of the damage to his right leg had not been fully disclosed. For LSU, losing a top target during a crucial comeback attempt compounds an already difficult loss to a conference rival.
