CJ Daniels injury update: LSU WR's status vs. Alabama revealed on final injury report

All signs point to LSU receiver CJ Daniels playing in Saturday’s game against Alabama. Daniels has been dealing with an injury for the past month but has managed to play the past two games.

He was listed questionable on the injury report Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to probable on Friday. With the final injury report being released a little more than an hour before kickoff, he is still listed as probable. You can view the full report below.

Alabama

• DB Keon Sabb – Out
• WR Cole Adams – Out

LSU

• S Jordan Allen – Out
• LB Harold Perkins – Out
• WR Kyle Parker – Out
• RB John Emery Jr. – Out
• DE Princeton Malbrue – Out
• OL Tyree Adams – Out
• L Garrett Dellinger – Out
• DT Jacobian Guillory – Out
• WR CJ Daniels – Probable
• LB West Weeks – Probable
• DT Kimo Makane’ole – Probable

CJ Daniels has been one of the top pass catchers for the Tigers this season. He has 29 catches for 342 yards but has yet to score a touchdown. Perhaps he can change that Saturday against the Crimson Tide with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. CT.

LSU puts up touching press box tribute to Kirk Herbstreit’s dog, Ben: ‘College football’s best friend’

Since the passing of his golden retriever, Ben, on Thursday, Kirk Herbstreit has kept up his regular football duties, including calling the LSU–Alabama game from Tiger Stadium on Saturday night. But his furry friend was remembered in the press box.

The simple gesture for the late companion of the broadcaster, set up by the hosts, featured an array of yellow and purple flowers. Along with that, was a framed image of Herbstreit and his dog and a simple message.

“Ben Herbstreit, college football’s best friend,” it read.

Ben was undergoing treatment for cancer throughout 2024 and Herbstreit announced recently that it had taken a far more intensive turn.
