LSU cornerback Denver Harris returns to practice field

Denver Harris missed the last week of practices but returned to the field on Saturday.

LSU got some good news on Saturday as cornerback [autotag]Denver Harris[/autotag] was spotted at practice.

Harris had missed the last week of practices — three in total — as he dealt with what coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] described as “personal matters.” Kelly said that Harris could potentially return to the field this weekend, and that proved to be the case.

It’s not entirely clear what Harris’ status is or the reason behind his recent absence. It had been reported that he played a big role in the mid-practice fight during an open session last week.

Harris has had some off-the-field issues in the past, facing multiple suspensions as a true freshman last fall at Texas A&M. When the Tigers took him in the transfer portal, Kelly said the staff “did our due diligence” before agreeing to take him.

The former five-star prospect is now back working with the team, and we’ll see what his availability looks like for the season opener.
