Kamario Taylor missed one contest for Mississippi State after being injured against Alabama. He returned to action this past week against Oklahoma, but left after just one quarter with an injury. Now, it has come out that Taylor will miss the rest of the season for Mississippi State.

Taylor released a statement about the injury, per the official Mississippi State football account.

“Over the last few weeks, I've worked every day with our medical staff and done everything possible to be out there with my teammates. Missing the rest of this season is hard to accept, but I know God has a plan. I love this team and I love Mississippi State,” the statement read. “My role will look different these next several weeks, but my commitment to this team won't change. I'll do whatever I can to help my brothers down the stretch, and I need the Bulldog Family to do the same. Have these guys' backs the same way you've always had mine. I couldn't ask for better people in my corner than my family, Coach Lebby, our incredible medical staff and Bulldog fans. Their care, support and love mean everything to me. There's a lot of football left, and I'm all in with my guys. Starkville is home, and I can't wait to be back playing the game I love.”

While the statement calls out his love, it has been pointed out by multiple fans that this sounds like a goodbye, not a see you when I return, type statement.

Seems like a farewell letter more than a “I’m coming back” letter.

But that’s just my read on the situation. Can’t imagine he would want to stay at miss st.

Taylor started the season strong for Mississippi State. He led the Bulldogs to a 4-0 record and was considered a Heisman Trophy candidate. This led to early speculation that Taylor would leave Mississippi State in the transfer portal. Despite his statement, fans are not convinced they will see Taylor in a Bulldogs uniform again.
