Robert Nkemdiche plays saxophone at blues club Thursday (Video)
Robert Nkemdiche is apparently using music to help with his recovery from a Saturday night fall.
The Ole Miss defensive lineman played at the Ground Zero Blues Club on Thursday night in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Nkemdiche was part of a band and played the saxophone. According to the Clarion-Ledger, it's unclear whether or not Nkemdiche was playing with brother Bryan or brother Robert in the band.
Robert Nkemdiche was charged with marijuana possession after he broke through a hotel window and fell 15 feet over a wall Saturday night in Atlanta. He reportedly suffered minor injuries in the fall and received stitches. He apologized for the incident earlier in the week.

Denzel Nkemdiche, a senior linebacker for Ole Miss, was found a day after he didn't attend a Sunday practice earlier in November. He didn't play in the Rebels' final game of the season and coach Hugh Freeze had said his condition was not life-threatening. Denzel had reportedly been in the ICU.
No determination has been made on Robert Nkemdiche's status for the Sugar Bowl vs. Oklahoma State. The junior is widely expected to forego his senior season in 2016 and instead enter the NFL draft. He'll likely be a high draft pick, though it's unclear how NFL personnel now view his draft status after the previous week.
