We knew LSU would be without redshirt freshman receiver [autotag]Kyle Parker[/autotag] for Saturday’s game against Ole Miss, but we now know that he’s dealing with a long-term injury
During his radio show on Thursday night, coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] announced that Parker suffered a torn tricep tendon and is out for the 2024 season. The Allen, Texas, native has appeared in four games this season, making two starts while recording three catches for 55 yards. His lone touchdown of the season, which came against UCLA, accounts for 45 of those yards.
It’s a tough loss for a receiving corps that already lacks proven depth after losing [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] and [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag] to the NFL draft. Starters [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag] and [autotag]CJ Daniels[/autotag] have battled injuries through the early part of the season, while [autotag]Chris Hilton Jr.[/autotag] is yet to make his debut after suffering an ankle injury in fall camp.
Brian Kelly just said on his radio show WR Kyle Parker tore a tricep tendon and is out for the year. He was not previously listed as being out, just injured. #LSU

Parker could potentially be eligible for a medical redshirt as he played in just four games, though he redshirted last season as a true freshman when he appeared in four games while recording no stats.
