PHOTO BY PATRICK DENNIS▲ BY WILSON ALEXANDER | Staff writer Sep 16, 2019 - 5:00 pm With three defensive ends missing at practice on Monday afternoon, LSU moved junior tight end TK McLendon to the defense. McLendon, who transferred from Copiah-Lincoln Community College, is 6-foot-5 and 263 pounds. He crouched into a three-point stance, pushing blocking sleds with the rest of the defensive line. McLendon has caught one pass for 12 yards this season. Nearby, freshman defensive back Marcel Brooks drilled with the outside linebackers, a recent trend at LSU's practices. He may see more playing time as a pass rusher with K'Lavon Chaisson questionable to play against Vanderbilt. Roll call: Missing Kristian Fulton, CB, senior Tyrion Davis-Price, RB, freshman Todd Harris, S, junior K'Lavon Chaisson, OLB, redshirt sophomore Treven Kately, DB, sophomore Tory Carter, FB, junior Soni Fonua, OLB, junior Kardell Thomas, OL, freshman Thomas Perry, OL, freshman Rashard Lawrence, DE, senior Neil Farrell Jr., DE, junior Glen Logan, DE, junior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 LSU football practice report (Sept. 18): K'Lavon Chaisson, Tyler Shelvin, Neil Farrell return BY SHELDON MICKLES | STAFF WRITER SEP 18, 2019 - 5:23 PM LSU linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson (18) walks on the field during a timeout in the second half of the Tigers' 65-14 win over the Demons, Saturday, September 14, 2019, on LSU's campus in Baton Rouge, La. The win is the 800th victory in the history of the LSU football program. STAFF PHOTO BY HILARY SCHEINUK Sheldon Mickles After being listed as "doubtful" earlier in the day by LSU coach Ed Orgeron for Saturday's game with Vanderbilt, outside linebacker K'Lavon Chaissonwas back on the practice field Wednesday. Chaisson, who didn't play in Saturday's game against Northwestern State and was not seen at practice Monday and Tuesday, returned when the fourth-ranked Tigers worked in full pads ahead of their Southeastern Conference opener against Vanderbilt. LSU bowl projections: Tigers' forecast little changed after blowing out Northwestern State On Monday, Orgeron said Chaisson was questionable for the matchup with the Commodores. Also returning Wednesday afternoon were starting nose tackle Tyler Shelvin,who was out Tuesday during the 10-minute portion of practice open to the media, and defensive ends Neil Farrell,who was absent Monday and Tuesday, and Ray Parker, who wasn't spotted Tuesday. Among the players not at practice Wednesday were tackle Dare Rosenthal, tight end Tory Carter, and defensive ends Rashard Lawrence and Glen Logan. Rosenthal, who practiced Tuesday, started the Northwestern State game in place of Saahdiq Charles, whom Orgeron said will be ready to go against Vanderbilt. Carter missed his second consecutive practice. Orgeron said Lawrence and Logan, who were injured in a win at Texas on Sept 7 and didn't play against Northwestern State, won't ba available on Saturday. Once again, true freshman nose tackle Siaki "Apu" Ika was dressed out, but did not participate while the other defensive linemen went through individual drills.

Herb Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I want Rashard Lawrence to rest up completely for the power SEC gauntlet. I'm cool if his warmup is the 4th Q of Utah State (which is our trap game this year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
