This spring, the Auburn receiving corps was decimated by injuries, with Eli Stove and Will Hastings both tore their ACLs.
However, somewhat surprisingly, both players returned for last week’s game against Alabama State, albeit in a limited role.
On Tuesday, coach Gus Malzahn said he expects both players to have a bigger role in this weekend’s game against LSU:
Receivers Will Hastings and Eli Stove will have expanded roles against LSU, says coach Gus Malzahn at weekly news conference. Both are returning from knee injuries.

Obviously, this is a huge matchup, so if both players are healthy enough to make an impact, that’s a good sign for Auburn.
Still, they’re only a few months removed from significant knee injuries, so it remains to be seen how much of a workload they can handle.
