LSU was without several key offensive linemen last week against McNeese State, but fortunately for the Tigers, several of those players are expected to return against Central Michigan.
Head coach Ed Orgeron said this week that right tackle Austin Deculus will be back against Central Michigan. Right guard Chasen Hines is expected to also return, while offensive lineman Cam Wire is still out.
On the defensive side of the ball, defensive linemen Glenn Logan and Ali Gaye have been ruled out.
LSU will be without a couple of players due to academics as well. Wide receiver Jontre Kirklin is still out, and running back John Emery is expected to miss the rest of the season due to an academic issue.
