LSU DT Jacobian Guillory leaves game vs. Nicholls with potentially serious leg injury

Jacobian Guillory left the game and was later spotted in a wheelchair with a cast around his leg.

One of LSU’s biggest fears was potentially realized during the first half of Saturday night’s home opener against Nicholls State.

Defensive tackle [autotag]Jacobian Guillory[/autotag] limped to the sidelines after a play and entered LSU’s injury tent. When he emerged, he had a cast around his leg and was placed into a wheelchair, according to 247Sports’ Glen West.

It’s safe to assume his night is done, and while we don’t know the severity of the injury, it would be a potentially disastrous loss for the Tigers. Defensive tackle is a position without much depth as Guillory was one of just two returning players with game experience at the position.

Without him, LSU will instead have to lean heavily on transfers [autotag]Gio Paez[/autotag] and [autotag]Jay’Viar Suggs[/autotag].
