Pair of LSU receivers unlikely to suit up against Ole Miss on Saturday night

The Tigers could be stretched pretty thin at receiver against Ole Miss.

Despite coming off a bye week, LSU is dealing with quite a few injuries heading into a critical Week 7 matchup against Ole Miss.

The receiver position in particular seems to be vulnerable, and the Tigers got some bad news on Friday night as both receivers [autotag]CJ Daniels[/autotag] and [autotag]Chris Hilton Jr.[/autotag] have been downgraded to doubtful.

Both have practiced leading up to the game, and Hilton was looking to make his season debut after suffering an ankle injury during camp. The depth at receiver was already stressed as it was announced earlier in the week that [autotag]Kyle Parker[/autotag] would miss the rest of the season with a torn tendon in his tricep.

Ole Miss star receiver Tre Harris, listed as questionable during the week, has been upgraded to probable.

If Hilton and Parker can’t go, the Tigers could look for more production from [autotag]Zavion Thomas[/autotag] at receiver as well as redshirt freshman [autotag]Shelton Sampson Jr.[/autotag]
