Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season after sustaining an injury that now requires season-ending surgery, according to multiple reports. The injury sidelined him earlier this season, and after returning briefly against Oklahoma, he left the game after one quarter.

Sources cited by ESPN and other outlets indicate the problem involves his toe, with surgery planned. The Athletic and CBS Sports frame Taylor as one of the season’s breakout performers and note his early impact during a strong start for Mississippi State. Yahoo Sports adds that Taylor released a statement about the injury, and says that update has sparked transfer speculation.
