TREY’DEZ GREEN INJURY UPDATE Trey’Dez Green injury update: LSU tight end ‘getting closer’ to return
As expected, star linebacker Whit Weeks, tight end Trey’Dez Green, safety Dashawn Spears, as well as reserves and special teams players Charles Ross II and receiver Phillip Wright Jr., are on the list. Spears, Ross and Wright have suffered season-ending injuries.
Weeks and Green have not been ruled out for the rest of the season but have suffered leg injuries that will keep them out for a substantial amount of time.

Weeks fractured his fibula against Texas A&M on Sept. 26 and has had a successful surgery to correct it.
Green sprained his knee in the Ole Miss game and has missed the past two games for LSU. But earlier this week, Kiffin said the tight end was getting closer to playing.
