UPDATE: Per Ole Miss athletics, Troy Brown is probable to return but safety AJ Finley has been ruled out for the rest of this game.

BATON ROUGE − Troy Brown and AJ Finley, two of Ole Miss football's best defenders, exited the Rebels' game against LSU in the first half.

Troy Brown is Ole Miss' second-leading tackler this season. The transfer from Central Michigan had eight tackles before leaving the game with the injury. Without Brown, the Rebels will have to rely on Khari Coleman, Austin Keys and Ashanti Cistrunk at linebacker.

Finley exited early with just two tackles. The senior from Mobile is the Rebels' leading tackler and leads the team in interceptions with two.
