LSU will face Ole Miss on Saturday, but will do so without a starting offensive lineman and one of its wide receivers. During his Thursday media availability, head coach Ed Orgeron announced that the Tigers will be missing both right guard Chasen Hines and wide receiver Deion Smith.
Hines was originally deemed questionable by Orgeron on Monday and missed practice throughout the week. It’s not known at this point what the nature of the injury is for the senior. Marlon Martinez is set to get the start at right guard for LSU on Saturday in Hines’ place.
Also missing for the Tigers will be Smith, who had a 5-catch, 135-yard day against Central Michigan while adding 2 touchdowns but has been limited in the offense outside of that. The true freshman was unable to play against Florida on Oct. 16 after coming out injured during the game against Kentucky.
Kickoff from Oxford is at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
