The LSU Tigers are going to be undermanned against the Oklahoma Sooners as the initial injury report looks a little bit different than the one that Frank Wilson shared earlier in the week.
There were five players out, three players listed as questionable and two more listed as probable.
Here's where things stand as of Wednesday night for the Tigers:
Out
WR Nic Anderson
WR Aaron Anderson
QB Garrett Nussmeier
DE Gabriel Reliford
OL Braelin Moore
There was some hope that Nussmeier would be able to play in this game, but it looks like the team will be manned by Michael Van Buren Jr. once again. LSU will need a better performance out of him this time around as they scored just 13 point against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.
Van Buren will also be without a complete offensive line with Moore out. It will likely be DJ Chester inserted into that starting center spot. Chester hasn't had the cleanest season, but his best snaps have come in the middle of the line.
Aaron Anderson was also questionable earlier in the week per Wilson, but will miss his second straight game. With him not manning the slot, those duties become split by Trey'Dez Green and Kyle Parker mostly.
Nic Anderson hasn't played since his knee injury in the game against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Questionable
LB Whit Weeks
OL Tyree Adams
OL Ory Williams
This will be the section to watch for Tigers fans with both Williams and Adams not yet being ruled out. Getting even just one of them into the game would change a lot.
The current tackle duo of Carius Curne and Weston Davis has been one of the biggest weak spots of the offense. They are both super young with plenty of potential, but just don't look ready yet. Both Adams and Williams have looked far more comfortable in their snaps.
Weeks revealed the other day that he has been playing with a broken ankle since the game against the Ole Miss Rebels. He can play through it, but it's mostly just how much pain he can handle. Would expect to see him play, but just not every snap.
Probable
CB Ja'Keem Jackson
RB Caden Durham
Jackson had a good game against the Hilltoppers, but most of his snaps came with Mansoor Delane out. With Delane not on the injury report, expect to see less of him even if he does play.
Durham has seemingly lost the role of majority carry holder to Harlem Berry, but he can still be impactful on this offense. The more running options the better.
