Chris Hilton, CJ Daniels injury update: Brian Kelly reveals statuses for LSU vs. Arkansas

The LSU Tigers got some good news on Thursday evening ahead of their matchup with the Arkansas Razorbacks. According to Koki Riley, Tigers head coach Brian Kelly revealed that receiver CJ Daniels is probable to play on Saturday after practicing Thursday. Wideout Chris Hilton, however, has been ruled out of the game.

LSU and Arkansas are both riding high heading into their matchup in Fayetteville this weekend. With the Razorbacks coming off of a bye week following their home upset win over Tennessee and LSU fresh off of an overtime victory against Ole Miss last Saturday.

The two respective ranked wins are huge for both team’s resumes at the halfway point of the regular season. And another victory this weekend would surely help the winner make their claim as one of the top teams in the SEC.

The injury bug has definitely bit the Tigers this season, with several key players already listed as out for the remainder of the season. While Arkansas’ story has been the opposite, taking some lumps early but turning things around health-wise coming out of their bye.

With that in mind, check out Thursday’s full injury report for Arkansas and LSU’s matchup below.

“Daniels practiced and looked good so I would say we’ll probably list him as probable for Saturday,” LSU head coach Brian Kelly said on Wednesday. “Chris was able to do some individual work. His is a day-to-day situation so so he’s still questionable. We’re trending in the right direction there. The rest are pretty static in terms of where we are from an injury standpoint.”
