LSU was already hit hard with injuries to Kendall Beckwith and Leonard Fournette, and the hits keeping on coming.
A photo from Kyle Field taken by The Advocate’s James Bewers shows that DE/OLB Arden Key and WR Travin Dural were not dressed out during warmups:
Key is No. 2 in the SEC and leads the SEC West with 10 sacks. Sources told Jim Kelinpeter of The Times-Picayune that Key was suspended for violation of team rules, but LSU SID Michael Bonnette denied that report:
#LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette confirms that WR Travin Dural and OLB/DE Arden Key are both out with injuries. Key injured his shoulder.

Dural has 28 receptions for 280 yards on the season.
Ross Dellenger added another pregame absence to this list:
Also, #LSU CB Kevin Toliver also not dressed out during warmups. A starter last year, he has not played much defensively over the last month
