LSU is getting healthier according to [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag].
“Leading into it, we don’t have anybody right that we would list as anything but probable,” he said Monday leading up to LSU’s Week 5 contest against Ole Miss.
This is good news for a team that’s dealt with some injuries to key players in the first month.
The most notable of which is linebacker [autotag]Omar Speights[/autotag], who missed the last two games after suffering an injury against Grambling.
Another one was tight end [autotag]Mason Taylor[/autotag], who returned last week after missing the Mississippi State game.
Conference play is heating up, so for LSU to be this healthy at this point is a major plus.
On this week's injury report, Brian Kelly said that everyone is at least probable to play this week. #LSU

Against Florida State, Speights logged five total tackles and assisted on another, according to PFF.
Speights’ return should open up more possibilities for LSU’s defense. We’ve seen [autotag]Matt House[/autotag] try a few different things with the linebacker group this year and having a veteran like Speights back could help solidify that group and bring consistency to the defense.
