LSU quarterback Myles Brennan returned to practice Monday after missing Saturday’s game against South Carolina with a significant injury to his lower body.
Ed Orgeron is taking it day-by-day and hasn’t made a decision on who will start at quarterback against Auburn this weekend after true freshman signal-caller TJ Finley’s standout performance.
The head coach added that he won’t put Brennan out on the field until he’s absolutely ready to go.
“If Myles is healthy, he’s our first-team quarterback, but I’m not putting him in unless he’s 100 percent,” Orgeron said.

Finley looked composed in the pocket against the Gamecocks, completing 17-of-21 passes for 265 yards, responsible for three of the team’s touchdowns.
“TJ did a tremendous job of delivering the football on time,” Orgeron said. “I told y’all he has a cannon for an arm. I was so pleased with TJ’s poise. He looked like a veteran out there. I think that’s what made the difference in the football game.”
It will be interesting to see who’s ultimately taking the snaps against Auburn on Saturday, but it’s clear that Orgeron has complete confidence in whoever that may be within his quarterbacks room.
