Ole Miss quarterback Austin Simmons is unlikely to play against Tulane on Saturday due to an ankle injury, ESPN reported Friday.
The 13th-ranked Rebels (3-0) will turn to Trinidad Chambliss to make his second consecutive start when the Green Wave (3-0) visit Oxford, Miss.
Simmons reportedly could be available in an emergency role, as he was last weekend when he came off the bench to throw a second-quarter touchdown pass in a 41-35 win against Arkansas.
Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin was optimistic about Simmons' availability earlier this week. 'I would anticipate Austin being fine to play and being our starting quarterback,' he said.
ESPN reported that Simmons aggravated his ankle injury during his relief appearance against the Razorbacks.
Simmons, a sophomore, has completed 34 of 56 passes for 580 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions in three games this season. He has rushed 16 times for 69 yards and one score.
Chambliss, a senior transfer from Division II Ferris State, completed 21 of 29 passes for 353 yards, one TD and no picks against Arkansas. He rushed 15 times for 62 yards and two scores.
