We got some good news from coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] on Monday morning regarding the status of offensive tackle [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag], who missed Saturday’s game when he was hospitalized for severe dehydration.
Campbell spent the weekend in the hospital, but Kelly said he passed a “major test” and is expected to be released on Monday. As far as Campbell’s prospects of returning to the field, Kelly said he had one more hurdle to clear but that things continue to trend in a positive direction.
After having what Kelly has described as an “episode” during walkthroughs on Friday, Campbell was taken to the hospital via ambulance. It’s unclear exactly what happened, and Kelly has implied that there may be more going on than just dehydration.
#LSU starting OT Will Campbell will be released in the next hour or so, Brian Kelly said.
Football-wise, Kelly said they have "one more hurdle", and if they pass that, things are trending in a really positive direction.

After Saturday’s loss to Tennessee, Kelly said they had ruled out anything life-threatening.
Regardless, Monday’s news was certainly welcome, and it looks like Campbell may be nearly out of the woods. If he cannot play against Florida on Saturday, LSU will be down two starters on the offensive line. [autotag]Garrett Dellinger[/autotag] suffered an MCL sprain on Saturday and is set to miss two weeks.
