LSU linebacker Michael Divinity may be out "a couple weeks," Tigers coach Ed Orgeron said, after the senior appeared to suffer a leg injury while making a tackle in LSU's 66-38 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday.

The 6-foot-2, 214-pound Divinity moved from inside linebacker to outside linebacker for the Vanderbilt game, filling in for the injured K'Lavon Chaisson.

Divinity's injury came with just more than four minutes remaining in the first half. Orgeron described Divinity's injury as "pretty significant" immediately after the game but added "no breaks or nothing."

"He's going to be OK," Orgeron said Tuesday morning on 104.5 ESPN's "Off the Bench." "Might be a couple of weeks, but it's not as bad as it looked on film."

Chaisson was dressed out but didn't play.

 

LSU next plays Utah State at 11 a.m. on Oct. 5.

True freshman cornerback Derek Stingley was among several notable absences in LSU's second practice of the open week — a list that included backup quarterback Myles Brennan for the second straight day.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Stingley, who recorded his first career interception in LSU's 66-38 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday, was not seen during the 20-minute media viewing of Wednesday's practice.

Stingley has started in all four games opposite Kristian Fulton, and the Dunham School alum has recorded 10 tackles and seven pass breakups in 2019.

 

The 6-foot-4, 207-pound Brennan missed his second practice this week, and the Mississippi native has played in three games, going 16-of-25 passing for 207 yards and an interception.

LSU coach Ed Orgeron said yesterday that Brennan "is going to be OK."

It is a light week of practice for the No. 4 Tigers (4-0), which practiced without pads on Tuesday, with pads on Wednesday and will practice in just helmets on Thursday before taking the weekend off before its game against Utah State on Oct. 5 at 11 a.m. at Tiger Stadium.

Sophomore pass rusher K'Lavon Chaisson, whom Orgeron has said has been battling an ankle injury and has missed the last two games, was dressed out for practice, but he did not participate in any of the drills.

Sophomore linebacker Damone Clark practiced with the outside linebackers on Wednesday. The 6-foot-3, 239-pound Clark has played in all four games at inside linebacker and started in two.  He is also the outside linebacker in LSU's "Green Team" pass rush package which is often deployed in third downs with passing situations.

Senior running back Lanard Fournette was not at media viewing of practice for the second straight day. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound back has 13 carries for 46 yards and a touchdown, plus five catches for 19 yards receiving.
