LSU experienced significant injury setbacks following its 32-24 loss to Ole Miss on Saturday night in Oxford, Mississippi. An MRI conducted on Sunday revealed that defensive back Dashawn Spears sustained an ACL injury that will end his season, according to sources speaking with CBS Sports.
Spears, a junior who was competing in his first season as a full-time starter, had begun to attract attention from NFL scouts as an emerging prospect for the upcoming draft. His loss represents a notable development for the Tigers’ defensive roster as the season progresses.
Tight end Trey’Dez Green also sustained a knee injury during the contest. According to a social media post from his mother, the injury did not involve torn ligaments, and Green will not require surgery. Instead, he sustained what was characterized as “some bad sprains and bruises.” While Green is expected to miss time, the exact duration remains unclear. His mother indicated that he would miss “some games” and emphasized the focus on recovery.
LSU head coach Lane Kiffin commented after Saturday’s game that neither injury “seemed very well” but declined to provide further details during a media conference call on Sunday. The No. 10 Tigers will return to action at home against No. 23 Texas A&M on Saturday, as they work to manage their roster challenges.
