LSU injury report

RB Caden Durham: “Day to day situation. He was better than we first thought. Doesn’t show any signs of a high ankle sprain, so he’s anxious to give it a shot and play and we’ll monitor him throughout the week.”

DL Gabriel Reliford: “Reliford has a subluxation of his shoulder so he is out this week then we will determine if a surgery is necessary or if he can play with it. We certainly want to respect the fact that in this situation, you want to make sure he’s capable in pass rush and if he can’t compete at the level he needs to then we’ll look at the options in front of us and surgery may be an option.”

TE Trey’Dez Green: Kelly said Green will play in this game and was “pretty good pregame” on Saturday. He even got suited up before going back to the locker room and putting on sweats and a shirt. He had a knee brace on, but was running and jumping.

LB West Weeks: Brian Kelly said that West Weeks is probable after missing the Southeastern game with a calf strain he suffered against Florida. He is “90 percent” and is expected to return to the field.

The Tigers head to Oxford, Mississippi next week to take on Ole Miss in a pivotal SEC match up between two top 15 teams. LSU is now 4-0 and looks to be one of the top teams in the country entering the heart of SEC competition with a slate of SEC games on deck.

“I think we start with, we have a standard for the way we want to play, and I thought we upheld that standard,” Kelly said. “There’s no perfection out there, but there was definitely progress. We made the progress that we were looking for. Now, we’ve got to build on that going into Ole Miss on the road against a very good football team.”
