Coming off of a ACL injury that ended his 2018 season prematurely, K’Lavon Chaisson’s health is on the mind of LSU fans.

But the linebacker has reassured a fan who tweeted wondering if his multi-day absence was related to his knee healing. “Yes! I promise you everything is okay. Nothing knee related.”

Chaisson, who will wear the No. 18 jersey this season, is expected to be a key contributor for the defense this season. He’s already made a splash in his career with Freshman All-SEC Honors in 2017 as he played in 12 games with three starts. He made 27 tackles and two sacks as a freshman before his season was cut short after just one game last year.

Chaisson is one of they key figures expected to replace the presence of Devin White from a pass rush perspective.

Chaisson recently told reporters he’s ready to go.

“I promise you, from Day 1, I’ve never had a problem — never had a mental problem with my knee. I trust my training room, I trust the staff so worrying about my knee is the last thing I need to be doing. I don’t really have mental issues,” Chaisson said. “Once they say I’m full go, I’m trying it out to see where it goes.”
