LSU QB Jayden Daniels (ankle) will play in SEC title game
LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, who sprained his ankle during a loss to Texas A&M last weekend, is expected to play Saturday against Georgia in the SEC championship game.
On Thursday, LSU coach Brian Kelly said Daniels was doing well.
"He's had a good week of practice and will play for us on Saturday," he said.
Daniels, a junior and transfer from Arizona State, has thrown 15 touchdowns and two interceptions this season.
A dual-threat athlete, he's run for 824 yards and 11 touchdowns.
When Daniels was sidelined against Texas A&M, second-year quarterback Garrett Nussmeier came off the bench.
Despite being hobbled, Daniels returned and finished the game.
