LSU’s secondary has had some struggles so far this season, and one of its top offseason additions is currently away from the team.
Syracuse transfer cornerback [autotag]Duce Chestnut[/autotag] began the season as a starter but was quickly supplanted by fellow transfer [autotag]Denver Harris[/autotag]. After appearing in the first four games, Chestnut has missed the last two with coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] only offering that he was away from the team.
Kelly was asked again about Chestnut’s status on Thursday, but he provided little news on that front. He said he would meet with Chestnut again in the coming days and likely would have another update next week.
Chestnut entered the year expected to be a major contributor, but he’s one of several offseason additions that haven’t really panned out so far.
