LSU coach Brian Kelly said defensive back Greg Brooks is making progress as he recovers from surgery earlier this month to remove a brain tumor.
But Kelly cautioned that Brooks' recovery will be a "slow process."
According to a statement released by Brooks' family last week, the surgery to remove the "large brain tumor" was successful, and the family is awaiting results of a biopsy.
"We are grateful for the work and care of the medical staff helping Greg through these challenges and for the concern and love poured out by so many in the Louisiana, Arkansas and national sports communities," the family said.
