In a battle between two of Louisiana’s top college teams, the LSU Tigers and the Louisiana State Bulldogs face off on Sept. 6. The question is, will several previously-injured players be able to play on Saturday’s big game for supremacy in the bayou?
Several players are injured coming into the contest, though LSU, coming off a big victory against Clemson, may be a lot more hobbled than their cross-state rivals in the injury department.
LSU Injury Report Week 2
Garrett Nussmeier
Last month, LSU fans were in a panic when reports indicated that QB1 Garrett Nussmeier suffered a knee injury during fall practice. However, it was not a torn ACL as many had feared, but him suffering from patellar tendinitis in his knee, which is not very serious. He is currently in full health and even performed very well in that season opener against Clemson, so he will most likely play on Saturday.
Caden Durham
As for Caden Durham, he reportedly suffered a foot injury ahead of the season but it was not deemed to be serious and he will likely play on Saturday.
Brian Kelly said Caden Durham had a foot injury but it’s not serious.

Nic Anderson
The LSU wide receiver Nic Anderson reportedly suffered a concussion during that season opener against Clemson, and now he is deemed questionable during the game on Saturday as he is still ruled as day-to-day under the concussion protocol.
Michael Van Buren Jr.
Van Buren Jr., a backup quarterback, reportedly suffered a hand injury and has been deemed questionable, so it is possible that he may miss the game against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.
Destyn Hill
A lot of Louisiana Tech wide receivers may possibly miss Saturday’s big game. While Anderson may still be able to play, fellow wide receiver Destym Hill may be out for some time longer and will definitely miss the game on Saturday. He reportedly injured his hand and is believed to miss even more games, not just the one against Louisiana Tech.
JT Lindsey
Lindsey in not injured but suspended after allegedly harboring two murder suspects inside his dorm room at LSU. He is facing multiple felony charges and has been suspended from the team, so he will definitely miss Saturday’s game.
Louisiana Tech Injury Report Week 2
Jay Wilkerson
Wide receiver Jay Wilkerson is the only Louisiana Tech Bulldogs player listed to be injured, though what his injury is has not been revealed to the public yet. The wide receiver’s injury remains “undisclosed” and he has been deemed as “questionable” for Saturday’s showdown against the cross-state rivals.
