LSU cornerback Denver Harris dealing ‘personal matters,’ could return to team this weekend

Denver Harris has missed the last three practices but could return to the field by the weekend, Brian Kelly said.

As LSU has progressed with its fall camp, one of the biggest question marks has been [autotag]Denver Harris[/autotag].

The Texas A&M cornerback transfer has been absent at practice recently, and coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] told the media Wednesday that he’s been away from the team while “handling some personal matters” but could return to the field as soon as this weekend.

“If he takes care of everything, we could have him back this weekend,” Kelly said per Wilson Alexander of The Advocate.

247Sports’ Sonny Shipp reported that Harris had a “pretty big role” in the fight at practice earlier in camp, and he’s missed three straight practices. His absence from the team photo also drew some attention.

Harris, a former five-star prospect, had some discipline issues with the Aggies as a freshman and was suspended twice last fall. He’s expected to play a key role in the secondary this season, and LSU will hope to get him back sooner rather than later.
