As of May 2024, the LSU Tigers football team is facing challenges with several key players dealing with injuries:
Mekhi Wingo: The star defensive tackle is out for the rest of the regular season due to an injury. His absence is significant as he was the team’s leading sack producer. Coach Brian Kelly is relying on Maason Smith, Jordan Jefferson, and Paris Shand to fill the void left by Wingo .
Zy Alexander, Deuce Chestnut, and Denver Harris: These crucial defensive players are also sidelined, impacting the Tigers’ secondary. LSU will depend on younger cornerbacks to step up against strong opponents.
Emery Jones: The right tackle had suffered a high ankle sprain but is now fully healthy and expected to play without restrictions.
Mason Taylor: The tight end had been dealing with an ankle sprain but has made a strong recovery and is nearly back to full strength, thanks to the extra rest provided by a recent bye week
Coach Brian Kelly mentioned that the bye week came at an opportune time, allowing the team to rest and recover. This has helped reduce the overall number of injured players on the roster and allowed those with minor injuries to heal more effectively.
