LSU is preparing to travel to Las Vegas to begin the 2024 season against USC on Sunday, and it could be without one of its starting receivers in that game.
Coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] updated the injury report heading into the week on Monday and said that [autotag]Chris Hilton Jr.[/autotag] is questionable for Sunday’s season-opener after suffering a bone bruise.
“He has a bone bruise, he is working through that process but today he’ll be listed in that category,” Kelly said.
Hilton has dealt with injuries and being buried on the depth chart through his first three seasons, but he’s coming off a career-best 225-yard, two-touchdown campaign in which he appeared in 11 games with two starts.
Kelly said Hilton was listed as questionable because the training staff hadn’t seen him get the opportunity to “move around.”
If he’s unable to play, redshirt freshman [autotag]Kyle Parker[/autotag] would get the starting nod. Parker appeared in four games as a true freshman last fall but was not targeted.
Kelly also listed starting right guard [autotag]Miles Frazier[/autotag] on the injury report as probable. The former FIU transfer enters his third year as a starter at LSU, and if he isn’t able to suit up, the Tigers will turn to one of their redshirt freshman depth pieces in [autotag]Tyree Adams[/autotag] or [autotag]Paul Mubenga[/autotag].
