LSU will be doing something different this fall.
[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] will be releasing official injury reports similar to those seen at the NFL level.
At his press conference on Monday, he revealed running back [autotag]Armoni Goodwin[/autotag] is doubtful for LSU’s opener against Florida State.
Goodwin dealt with injuries in 2021 and 2022. He was out for the entirety of spring practice.
Prior to his injury last year, Goodwin looked to be emerging as LSU’s top back after leading LSU backs in rushing in weeks two and three. Goodwin has practiced this fall, but this could be LSU being careful with a player who’s dealt with his fair share of injuries while in Baton Rouge.

When healthy, Goodwin ranked second in yards after contact per rush among SEC running backs with at least 45 carries.
LSU has better depth at running back this year so it should be able to deal with the loss. Goodwin can bring much needed explosiveness to LSU’s offense upon his return.
