As LSU returns home to continue SEC play against Arkansas on Saturday night, the Tigers will hope to be closer to full health than they were in last week’s 41-14 win over Mississippi State.
The Tigers were without three injured starters in that game: tight end [autotag]Mason Taylor[/autotag], JACK [autotag]Ovie Oghoufo[/autotag] and linebacker [autotag]Omar Speights[/autotag]. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] updated the injury report Thursday, and it featured some positive news.
Taylor and Oghoufo remain probable as they are expected to return to the field. Unfortunately for LSU, Speights is doubtful and likely to miss his second game in a row. That will open the door for true freshman [autotag]Whit Weeks[/autotag] to see more action at inside linebacker.
