OXFORD -- Good news on the injury front for Ole Miss.

Defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, left tackle Laremy Tunsil and safety Cody Prewitt were all in uniform and pads during the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media.

All three suffered injuries during Saturday's 10-7 loss to LSU, making their status for this week's game against No. 4 Auburn a genuine concern.

Coach Hugh Freeze described all four as being "day-to-day" on Monday, and said that whether or not they would play would really be a pain-tolerance issue. Freeze does not speak to the media after practice on Tuesdays.

"Cody we're trying to limit him so we didn't give him a lot of reps out there," defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. "Robert had to work through it, he was in-and-out a couple times and then he finished strong in the last half of practice."

"(Tunsil) says he's going to go no matter what," wide receiver Laquon Treadwell said Monday.

Nkemdiche and Tunsil were participating in all the drills at the start of practice, while Prewitt appeared to be holding out of contact situations. Tunsil suffered a bicep pull, while Prewitt and Nkemdiche's injuries have not been officially revealed.

Center Ben Still was not a participant on Tuesday. The junior missed the LSU game with a sprained MCL, but is no longer wearing a brace on the knee. Without him Ole Miss continued to use Robert Conyers as the primary center.

Wommack said there was not a change in the length of practice or the number of snaps during in response to the injuries, which include losing linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche for the remainder of the season.
