LSU’s wide receiver room took a hit this week.
[autotag]Chris Hilton Jr.[/autotag] underwent shoulder surgery that is expected to end his season. Hilton didn’t get a ton of action in LSU’s crowded receiver room, but he has played 70 snaps this year and got the start against Mississippi State. He’s been targeted 10 times, catching seven passes for 109 yards.
Hilton, a highly touted recruit in the class of 2021, added another dimension with his speed and was able to stretch the field. This won’t make or break LSU’s passing game, but the depth takes a hit. Hilton was a guy with the talent to make plays against SEC opponents.
#LSU wide receiver Chris Hilton Jr. is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing a procedure today for a shoulder injury, a source told @theadvocatebr.
Tough blow for the speedy redshirt freshman who has dealt with multiple injuries during his career. https://t.co/XCUyXvSKN4
