LSU Football Injury Report: Shakeup at WR before Texas A&M game
The final SEC injury report has been released ahead of LSU’s Top 15 matchup with Texas A&M, and there’s notable shakeup at the wide receiver position.
LSU has been without wide receiver Chris Hilton all season, though each week he’s appeared as questionable on the injury report before being ruled out ahead of kickoff.
Could that change on Saturday in College Station?
Will Chris Hilton make his season debut – while another WR sits?
After being listed as questionable on Wednesday’s SEC injury report, Hilton’s status remained the same on Thursday evening’s release – though LSU head coach Brian Kelly shed some positive light on the chances of Hilton making his 2024 appearance on Saturday, telling reporters Hilton practiced in a “full capacity” on Thursday.
“He’s made progress,” Kelly said. “This has been a slow process for us and him. You don’t bring a wide receiver back after this long out unless he’s properly conditioned because then you go pull a hamstring, right?”
“It’s not the leg anymore, and we’re not concerned, and he’s not concerned about the leg. This is much more about a conditioning element relative to soft tissue more than anything else. So, we’re in a pretty good position here now. This is just getting him game ready.”
The news on Hilton becomes more notable given wide receiver CJ Daniels was downgraded from probable on Wednesday to questionable on Thursday. Daniels missed LSU’s win over Ole Miss, but his return for the Arkansas game a week ago resulted in 10 targets, seven catches and 86 yards receiving.
Daniels, who transferred to LSU after putting up a huge season at Liberty in 2023 with 1,000-plus receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns, has logged the second-most snaps (351) among LSU’s wide receivers this season, trailing only Kyren Lacy (400).

The SEC’s final LSU vs. Texas A&M Injury Report
Beyond Hilton and Daniels, there are no major surprises to LSU’s injury report ahead of the Top 15 matchup with the Aggies.
LSU starting linebacker Greg Penn III, starting running back Caden Durham and starting guard Miles Frazier all remain probable to play on Saturday.
The most notable loss for Texas A&M is starting offensive lineman Chase Bisontis being listed as out for Saturday’s game against the Tigers.
The sophomore suffered a leg injury in the first half of Texas A&M’s win at Mississippi State a week ago, and he didn’t return to the game.
Bisontis, the team’s starting left guard, has played 411 snaps this season. Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades Bisontis out as the team’s best offensive lineman after he allowed just one sacked across Texas A&M’s 6-1 start this season.
