LSU will be without defensive back Dashawn Spears for the remainder of the season after an MRI reportedly confirmed an ACL injury sustained during the Tigers’ 32–24 loss to Ole Miss, CBS Sports reported.

Tight end Trey’Dez Green will also miss games after suffering knee sprains and bruising in the same match. His mother said in a Facebook post that Green had not torn any ligaments and would not require surgery.

The length of Green’s absence has not been disclosed. His mother described the injury as “some bad sprains and bruises” and said he would miss some games while recovering.
