Heart condition forces DL Lockett out of Ole Miss opener

Head coach Houston Nutt announced following practice yesterday that Lockett was currently at the Cleveland Clinic undergoing what team trainer Tim Mullins described as "a battery of tests" for "a rhythm problem that he started experiencing Saturday during the scrimmage."
"He has a little heartbeat out of rhythm right now and they are running test on him in Ohio," said Nutt. "But he will not be with us in Game One for sure. That was our captain. That was a blow."
The senior started all 13 games for the Rebels in 2009, totaling five sacks and ten tackles for for loss. He was named to the preseason All-SEC second team by the media back in July.
