Rebels' Lockett suffers season-ending injury

Kentrell Lockett battled his way back from a heart condition that kept him out of Ole Miss' season opener. Unfortunately for Lockett, ligaments in one of his knees have ultimately scuttled his 2010 season. Mississippi coach Houston Nutt says defensive end Kentrell Lockett will miss the rest of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Saturday's 55-38 victory over Fresno State. In three games, Lockett made six tackles, including one for a loss. He had 10 tackles for a loss and five sacks in 2009. Nutt says Lockett's loss was tough physically and emotionally. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound senior from Hahnville, La., is one of five team captains.
