Injury update on LSU football's leading wide receiver
LSU football WR Jackson Harris met with the media on Tuesday, offering a positive injury update on his status ahead of the Auburn game.
LSU football's leading wide receiver Jackson Harris delivered positive news on Tuesday following his ankle injury suffered during the Mississippi State game. Harris revealed during a media appearance post-practice that he is ready to play in the upcoming contest against Auburn this weekend. If the outcome had been different, Harris indicated he might have continued playing, expressing his desire to return to the game under those circumstances.
This update is a welcome sign for the LSU offense, which cannot afford to sustain another loss due to injury. Tight end Trey Dez Green, who left LSU's Week 3 defeat against Ole Miss and is currently sidelined, is not anticipated to return until November. Harris has proven his value in Green's absence, often being Sam Leavitt's primary target, along with slot wide receiver Winston Watkins.
Harris showcased his skills against Mississippi State, where he was instrumental in the victory, contributing with three touchdowns. Harris' impressive performance resulted in 456 yards, placing him 8th among SEC wideouts, with Winston Watkins following closely in 9th with 447 yards.
