LSU starting quarterback Myles Brennan has been out from practice with a significant lower body injury sustained against Missouri this season, and has been focused on rehab, according to head coach Ed Orgeron in a teleconference on Wednesday.
The Tigers have two exciting true freshman signal-callers in T.J. Finley and Max Johnson, who Orgeron described as “very similar.” We could expect to see one or both of them on Saturday vs. South Carolina, with Orgeron saying that Brennan wasn’t likely to play this weekend.
Brennan’s injury is something that will continue to be monitored, and Orgeron said that he’ll be ready to put the redshirt junior back in action whenever he’s ready.
The question is as to just when that will be, though.

According to Orgeron, that could be as early as this week, or could be longer if it’s a “lingering deal.” For now, Brennan is obviously not at 100%, and the final decision for if he’ll be able to come back as early as Saturday will be made by the end of the week.

Ed Orgeron says: "We don't think Myles Brennan's going to play." It's not 100% yet, Orgeron says, and a decision will likely be made at the end of the week.
