The Availability Report for LSU vs Texas A&M shows massive positive all round
The LSU Tigers are preparing to meet the Texas A&M Aggies in a matchup that could determine a spot in the SEC Championship Game. In their last encounter, both teams lost crucial starters to injuries, leaving everyone anxious for the initial availability report. That report came out on Wednesday night, revealing that the LSU Tigers are in better condition than many expected.

The Tigers have safety Jordan Allen listed as out; he didn’t travel with the team last weekend, and while Brian Kelly hasn’t commented on his absence, it’s notable that he had been struggling with turf toe earlier in the season.
Chris Hilton is once again marked as questionable on the injury report, raising questions about his potential impact since he has missed considerable time while other receivers have emerged. Defensive tackle Kimo Makane’ole is also listed as questionable; although he played during the final drive of the last game, he’s unlikely to make a significant impact against Texas A&M.
The positive news for the LSU Tigers is that most of the starters who were banged up against Arkansas are likely to play. Greg Penn III and CJ Daniels both missed parts of that game but are probable for Saturday. Miles Frazier and Caden Durham were able to participate in most of that game but have been dealing with injuries for a few weeks; however, they should also be ready for Saturday.
On the Texas A&M side, versatile true freshman Terry Bussey is removed from the injury report, so he’s set to play. The most significant update, though, is that starting offensive lineman Chase Bisontis will be out against LSU. TJ Shanahan is expected to step in for Bisontis, just as he did when Bisontis got injured against Mississippi State.
