LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Tuesday that two or three players are currently out after testing positive for COVID-19.
Orgeron declined to say who tested positive, but added later that the players were asymptomatic and have been quarantined.
Speaking to reporters the day after opening preseason camp, Orgeron expressed optimism about the SEC's ability to have a football season despite several other conferences, including the Big Ten and Pac-12, postponing all fall sports.
Orgeron said he expects a spike in cases now that students have returned to campus, but it's their job to "overcome it and flatten it out so September 26 we can play football.
