Ed Orgeron updates injury status for LSU DL Breiden Fehoko, gives timetable for his return
The LSU Tigers are getting some key players back from injury as Week 1 draws nearer.
However, one player the team is still waiting on is DL Breiden Fehoko, who is projected as a starter along the LSU defensive line.
On Wednesday, coach Ed Orgeron said he expects Fehoko back in action soon, perhaps as soon as the start of next week (via 247Sports):
“He shouldn’t be out but a couple more days,” Orgeron said. “I expect him to be back next week.”
Fehoko played in and started 8 games for the Tigers last year, recording 16 tackles (3 for a loss) and 1.5 sacks.
If he stays healthy, he and Rashard Lawrence form a solid duo along the Tigers’ defensive front.
Uh, well, there’s no guarantee Fehoko would start. But DEs have to rotate, so they all will get playing time. The starters are likely Lawrence and Glen Logan. Or at least a situation where Logan and Fehoko alternate. Fehoko is valuable as a backup because he can also play NT.
