Josh Williams is confident he will return for SEC Championship

The Tigers may get one of their best offensive players back for the Georgia game.

It’s no secret that LSU has been playing without one of its best players the past few weeks as the Tigers have missed [autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag] after he suffered an injury in LSU’s win over the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Since then, [autotag]Noah Cain[/autotag] and [autotag]John Emery Jr.[/autotag] have had to pick up the slack. They have done a great job so far, but [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] would love nothing more than to get Williams back.

The Tigers are headed to Atlanta to play the Georgia Bulldogs for the SEC Championship game this weekend and it would be a massive boost if Williams were to play this week.

Williams told the media this week that he expects to make his return to the field in the SEC title game.

“I talked to the training staff. They basically said it’s based on how I feel, how I want to go forward with it,” Williams said. “I’m feeling better than I did last week, I’ve been progressing every day. I started running last week. I’ve been doing well starting today even, I’m excited to see how well I progress. I’m pretty confident that I’m going to make an appearance in the game. I just want to put it in God’s hands and see how it goes.”

Getting Williams back would be huge for the Tigers’ confidence this weekend.
