LSU returns to practice field in preparation for Citrus Bowl missing 2 defensive starters

LSU returned to the practice field on Tuesday afternoon as the team began bowl prep for its New Year's Day game against No. 14 Notre Dame in the Citrus Bowl presented by Overton's.

The Tigers were without a pair of linebackers as Arden Key and Donnie Alexander were absent.

Key has been dealing with a knee injury he suffered in the Arkansas game and missed the final two regular season contests against Tennessee and Texas A&M. Key also had surgery on his pinky finger but that wasn't expected to keep him out long.

Alexander has been dealing with shoulder and neck injuries throughout the season but did play against the Aggies in the final game of the season when he had two tackles and a fumble recovery he returned for 33 yards.
