LSU was finally getting back closer to full health last week, but several Tigers players got banged up in the 55-49 loss, leading to a more crowded Monday injury report than we saw last week.
Addressing the media, coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] listed receivers [autotag]Chris Hilton[/autotag], [autotag]Aaron Anderson[/autotag] and [autotag]Omar Speights[/autotag] as questionable. Speights made his return to the field after missing back-to-back games with a hip flexor while Hilton also played Saturday.
Anderson missed the game after a hamstring injury suffered in practice on Thursday.
We’ll be monitoring the progress of those players throughout the week, but if Hilton or Anderson aren’t able to go, the Tigers should have [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag] available, who was listed as probable alongside redshirt freshman former walk-on receiver [autotag]Javen Nicholas[/autotag], who could see his number called depending on the status of other players.
Kelly said that all five players are dealing with lower-body injuries but declined to go into further detail.
The Tigers will look to bounce back in Week 6 as they hit the road to take on a ranked unbeaten team in Missouri.
