It has just been one bad blow after bad blow for the LSU Tigers. Going into Saturday, it felt manageable for the team. However, since Sunday it has just gotten worse as the Florida game gets closer.
Since that point, the team has lost Kayshon Boutte, Joseph Evans, Eli Ricks, and Ali Gaye for the season. Major Burns is out until at least the Alabama game on Nov. 6.
Based on the number of growing injuries, it is hard to justify how this game against Florida can come out in their favor.
Player | Position | Injury | Status |
Andre Anthony | DE | Knee | out for season |
Kayshon Boutte | WR | undisclosed | out for season |
Myles Brennan | QB | arm | out indefinitely |
Major Burns | DB | undisclosed | out Saturday |
John Emery Jr | RB | Academics | out for season |
Joseph Evans | DT | undisclosed | out for season |
Ali Gaye | DE | undisclosed | out for season |
Glen Logan | DT | foot | available |
Eli Ricks | DB | undisclosed | out for season |
Jared Small | LB | undisclosed | out for season |
Deion Smith | WR | undisclosed | doubtful |
Derek Stingley Jr | DB | Foot | out indefinitely |
Gaye was the latest player to be out according to Brody Miller of The Athletic.
News: #LSU defensive end Ali Gaye will need surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, sources tell @TheAthletic.
LSU may be without its four top prospects for the rest of the season, will play Florida without 5 defensive starters.
