LSU coach Brian Kelly gives injury updates on two offensive starters

Get fresh information on the status of two injured LSU offensive players.

LSU Wire has some reported injury updates from Tiger head coach Brian Kelly, leading into Sunday’s game against USC.

Coach Brian Kelly updated the injury report heading into the week on Monday and said that Chris Hilton Jr. 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.

If he’s unable to play, redshirt freshman Kyle Parker 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 Miles Frazier 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 Tyree Adams or Paul Mubenga.”

LSU running back Armoni Goodwin doubtful for Florida State game

LSU will likely be without RB Armoni Goodwin on Sunday night.

LSU will be doing something different this fall.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] will be releasing official injury reports similar to those seen at the NFL level.

At his press conference on Monday, he revealed running back [autotag]Armoni Goodwin[/autotag] is doubtful for LSU’s opener against Florida State.

Goodwin dealt with injuries in 2021 and 2022. He was out for the entirety of spring practice.

Prior to his injury last year, Goodwin looked to be emerging as LSU’s top back after leading LSU backs in rushing in weeks two and three. Goodwin has practiced this fall, but this could be LSU being careful with a player who’s dealt with his fair share of injuries while in Baton Rouge.

When healthy, Goodwin ranked second in yards after contact per rush among SEC running backs with at least 45 carries.

LSU has better depth at running back this year so it should be able to deal with the loss. Goodwin can bring much needed explosiveness to LSU’s offense upon his return.
