OXFORD — Ole Miss will have to get used to life without Dexter McCluster again.

The wide receiver, who missed the second half of 2006 after sustaining a concussion and shoulder injury, could be sidelined for up to six weeks. Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron would not reveal the nature of McCluster's latest injury, which held him out of the opener, but confirmed he'll be sidelined for a some time.

"I think he's going to be out anywhere from three to six weeks," Orgeron said Monday. "That's all I'm going to say."

McCluster's loss is a blow to an offense that was counting on him to regain his freshman form this fall. He was Ole Miss' most productive player in the first half of 2006, but was knocked out of the Vanderbilt game with a vicious hit on the opening kickoff.

McCluster latest injury occurred sometime last week. He was in uniform for pre-game warmups last Saturday, but did not run routes or catch passes. He barely moved his left arm, too, and stood on the sideline in his uniform throughout the game.
