One of the worst parts of the loss to UCLA last Saturday was not just the game itself. The LSU Tigers lost several key players due to injury. The team will be without both starting tackles on the offensive line. On defense, they lose one of their key defenders for the upcoming game.
If there is a silver lining to this story, it is that it comes against an FCS opponent rather than in the thick of conference play. Who is out for Saturday’s game against the Cowboys? We break down the injury report and players are likely to miss due to non-football situations.
Injuries: Who is on the injury report
Quarterback, Myles Brennan: Out indefinitely (arm)
Offensive Tackle, Austin Deculus: Out Saturday (shoulder)
Defensive End, Ali Gaye: Out Saturday (undisclosed)

Defensive Tackle. Glen Logan: Out indefinitely (foot)
Wide Receiver, Malik Nabors: Questionable Saturday (shoulder)
