Ole Miss star wideout Laquon Treadwell suffered a gruesome leg injury as he headed toward the goal line against Auburn on Nov. 1.
Instead of what could have been a game-winning score, Treadwell fumbled just before the goal line and fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle in the process.
Only three-and-a-half months later, the 6-foot-2, 229-pound Treadwell is back on his feet, as he displayed in a video posted on Instagram.
That’s Treadwell on the left running along with Rebels’ linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche, who broke his ankle the week before against LSU on Oct. 25.
The video is a seriously good sign for Ole Miss as the Rebels head into spring practice. While it’s unclear if Treadwell, who caught 48 passes for 632 yards and five touchdowns before the injury, will be cleared to participate in spring drills, it looks like he could be good to go by the time the season rolls around in August.
Ole Miss will have a new starting quarterback in 2015 and a healthy Treadwell will certainly help the team’s new signal caller.
