LSU senior safety Ed Paris is expected to miss — at least — Saturday’s home game against Syracuse after suffering an apparently “significant” knee injury in Tuesday’s practice.

“It could cost him more games and potentially the season,” a report from Ross Dellenger of The Advocate in Baton Rouge noted.

“It doesn’t look good for Ed [Paris],” Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron said. “I haven’t got the doctors report. Freak accident on field goal block. I’ll have the doctor’s report for tomorrow, but it definitely doesn’t look good for him.”

Paris has made eight tackles for the Tigers through the first three games. He tallied a season-high five of those last week against Mississippi State. He’s also already broken up four passes.

Last season, Paris played as a reserve. He’s been rotating at the safety position so far this year after moving from cornerback to safety.

“Paris appears to be eligible for a medical redshirt, despite playing for a portion of this season,” Dellenger noted in the report. “The NCAA grants redshirts for medical reasons under two conditions: a players must not have played in the second half of the season and must not have played in more than one-third of a team’s snaps. The Tigers have played three games, and Paris has not played each defensive snap.”
