LSU practiced Wednesday without sophomore defensive end Rashard Lawrence and with senior running back Darrel Williams in a non-contact yellow jersey.
The absence for Lawrence came after coach Ed Orgeron said during a morning teleconference that Lawrence was "very questionable" to play in the SEC opener Saturday against Mississippi State.
Lawrence did not play last week against FCS-level Chattanooga and was seen pregame with a walking boot on his left foot. He practiced Monday and Tuesday and appeared to have a heavily taped left ankle during the Tuesday practice.
Lawrence played in the opener Sept. 2 against BYU and was seeing limping after another player rolled up on him in the second quarter.
