Robert Nkemdiche Suffers Multiple Cuts After Falling from Window

Ole Miss star defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche fell 15 feet out of a window at an Atlanta hotel Saturday, per Daniel Paulling of the Clarion-Ledger. Nkemdiche suffered multiple cuts in the incident, according to Cody Chaffins of Fox 5.    

Zach Klein of WSB provided the police report on the incident:

"

At approximately 2318 hours, Zone Two units responded to a person injured call where a male had fallen from a hotel room window. Upon arrival, the victim was conscious and breathing. He was transported to Grady Memorial and was in stable condition. Inside the hotel room, units located a small amount of suspected marijuana. The window was also broken out. It appears that the victim broke the window and then walked approximately 15 feet and climbed over a wall and fell approximately 15 feet. GI Squad and the Narcotics Unit responded to the scene along with the Crime Scene Unit.

Chase Parham of Rivals.com provided a statement from Nkemdiche:

On Monday, the Atlanta Police Department reported it found "seven rolled marijuana cigarettes" in the room from which Nkemdiche fell, per David Ching of ESPN, who added Nkemdiche has been charged with possession of marijuana.

TMZ Sports shared details from the 911 call from the incident, where the woman who placed the call said Nkemdiche "didn't seem coherent, he seemed like he was delirious."

Head coach Hugh Freeze told reporters he expects Nkemdiche to return to the team Monday, adding the player reached out to let him know he was OK. Nkemdiche has stitches in his back and leg, per Freeze, who added he will gather the facts regarding the incident before determining his status in the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma State.

The junior is a key piece of the Ole Miss defense, finishing the 2015 season with 29 tackles and three sacks. He's widely expected to be a top-10 pick in the 2016 draft if he forgoes his senior season and will be vital to Ole Miss' hopes of winning the Sugar Bowl.

Nkemdiche is a unique talent and physical specimen, and he has been a major factor in the Rebels' resurgence in the SEC the past three years.
