Matt McMahon updates injury suffered by LSU’s Jordan Wright vs. Alabama

Jordan Wright seemed to suffer an injury in the Tigers 109-92 loss to Alabama on Saturday.

LSU Tigers wing [autotag]Jordan Wright[/autotag] seemed to suffer an injury in the 109-92 loss to Alabama on Saturday. Wright has started in 22 of the 23 games this season for LSU and has been productive.

Wright has averaged 15 points per game, 5.1 rebounds per game, and a team-high 2.8 assists per game.

He finished the game with nine points on 1-of-5 shooting. LSU dropped to 12-11 overall this season and 4-6 in SEC play. After the game, coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] was asked about the status of Wright going forward after suffering an injury.

Here is what he had to say about it.

“He’s been recovering from an illness last week, but I think what happened is he got clipped on a screen coming out there in the first half,” McMahon said, per On3. “It looked like a Charley horse situation. Had the horrific fall. Was really fortunate there. I think he landed on Nelson. I think just got hit there in the quad by a knee on a screen.”

It seems as though Wright will be alright in the long haul so that is a positive for LSU.

49ers practice update: WR Deebo Samuel in jersey, working on side field

Deebo Samuel isn’t practicing, but he’s not completely absent from the practice field per Matt Barrows.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on Wednesday told reporters wide receiver Deebo Samuel would be a non-participant in practice, but he wasn’t completely absent from the field. Matt Barrows of the Athletic noted that Samuel was in a jersey and working on a side field during Wednesday’s session.

That’s not necessarily a sign that Samuel will play vs. Detroit, but it’s more positive than if he was completely inactive. Combining this with Shanahan saying that Samuel is feeling better after hurting his shoulder in Saturday’s divisional playoff game paints a far more positive picture than the one we saw Saturday of Samuel on the sideline in street clothes.

Thursday and Friday will give us better indicators of Samuel’s progress. For now though work on a side field is a plus for San Francisco and their star WR’s availability for the NFC championship.

Report: Will Campbell back at practice, Miles Frazier now missing time with illness

LSU could be dealing with some availability issues on the offensive line heading into the ReliaQuest Bowl.

LSU got some slightly concerning news on Friday as starting left tackle [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag] missed practice while he battled the flu.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] said Campbell was still expected to suit up in Monday’s ReliaQuest Bowl, and Saturday’s practice session provided an encouraging update as Campbell was back in action, according to The Advocate’s Wilson Alexander.

It wasn’t all good news along LSU’s offensive line, however, as right guard [autotag]Miles Frazier[/autotag] missed Saturday’s practice as he is now dealing with an illness. In his place, Lunsford saw starting reps.

Frazier is a transfer from Florida International who has started 24 of the 25 games he’s appeared in since arriving at LSU in 2022.

If Frazier isn’t able to go, it would open the door for Lunsford to make his first start of the season. A graduate transfer addition this offseason from Maryland with multiple years of starting experience, he’s been relegated to a reserve role this fall and has appeared in just five games with no starts.

True freshman offensive tackle [autotag]Lance Heard[/autotag] would likely have made the start at right tackle with [autotag]Emery Jones[/autotag] shifting inside, but Heard did not make the trip to Tampa as he contemplates his future at LSU, [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] said.

LSU F Daimion Collins to return against Northwestern State on Friday night

Daimion Collins will make his return to the court after missing the last six games.

LSU has been without one of its top transfer additions in recent outings, but it will be back closer to full strength as it hosts Northwestern State for the final non-conference matchup before SEC play begins in the new year.

Forward [autotag]Daimion Collins[/autotag] will make his return to the court after missing the last six games, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. A former five-star recruit who arrived this offseason from Kentucky, Collins is averaging 4.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in five games this season.

He’s been a rotational player and will likely resume that role, giving LSU some more depth on the interior with the 6-foot-9 player.

It’s one of several recent boosts the Tigers have gotten as transfer guard [autotag]Jalen Cook[/autotag] was finally given the green light to play as a two-time transfer ahead of a loss to Texas.

Now closer to full strength, LSU will hope to reverse its fortunes from last season in SEC play. First, it will take on the Demons at 7 p.m. CT on Friday night.

NEW: Mekhi Wingo will reportedly play vs. Wisconsin in ReliaQuest Bowl

Mekhi Wingo missed the final five games after undergoing surgery for a lower-body injury.

Though LSU will be without its star quarterback [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Jan. 1 against Wisconsin, the team will be getting a major boost on defense.

Defensive tackle [autotag]Mekhi Wingo[/autotag] will make his return to the field against the Badgers, coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] told On3’s Shea Dixon on Wednesday. One of the most impactful players on that side of the ball, Wingo missed the final five games of the season after undergoing surgery for a lower-body injury suffered against Auburn.

Wingo said at the time that he would return for the College Football Playoff, and even with the Tigers falling short of that goal, he will make his way back to the field for the postseason.

Wingo has yet to announce a draft decision. In seven games this fall, he totaled 22 tackles (three for loss) and 2.5 sacks.

Hailey Van Lith reportedly out for LSU vs. McNeese Tuesday night

Hailey Van Lith will miss her second straight game as she battles a foot injury.

LSU’s women’s basketball team is a colossal favorite heading into a Tuesday night home matchup against McNeese, but it will be without one of its top players.

According to a report from WAFB’s Jacques Doucet, [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag] will miss her second straight game as she deals with a foot injury. Van Lith also missed Sunday’s 83-53 win over Louisiana.

Junior guard [autotag]Last-Tear Poa[/autotag] is likely to make her fifth start of the year in this game after also starting in the win over the Ragin’ Cajuns.

A graduate transfer from Louisville, Van Lith has started all nine games that she has appeared in this season, averaging 12.2 points and leading the team with five assists per game.

The Tigers will hope she’s able to make her return against Northwestern State on Sunday.

#Falcons CB A.J. Terrell has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and is expected to play on Sunday against the Buccaneers

The Atlanta Falcons are more banged up than usual heading into Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but they received some good news regarding the status of cornerback A.J. Terrell.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Terrell has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and is expected to play this weekend. With three starters — Nate Landman, Kaleb McGary and David Onyemata — ruled out for Week 14, having Terrell is a big win for this Falcons team.

Jets running back Breece Hall was fined $43,709 for the hit on Terrell that led to the concussion, per Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.

Cornerback Jeff Okudah’s status is questionable, along with Mike Hughes and wide receiver Mack Hollins. Check out the team’s complete injury report and updated 53-man roster for Sunday’s game in Atlanta.

Falcons CB Jeff Okudah, DL David Onyemata and RT Kaleb McGary were out again on Thursday

The Atlanta Falcons resumed practice with a handful of key players still missing on Thursday afternoon. The team has one more practice remaining before Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Among those out were cornerback Jeff Okudah, linebacker Nate Landman, offensive lineman Kaleb McGary and defensive lineman David Onyemata, according to team reporter Terrin Waack.

Stay tuned for the full Thursday injury report following today’s practice.
