Brian Kelly Names Several Players That Can Step Up Due To Recent Injuries At WR

LSU's wide receiver depth continues to be a growing concern this season, with Brian Kelly revealing Thursday that Kyle Parker is done for the season with a torn tendon in his tricep.

Parker had been playing in place of Chris Hilton, who has yet to play in a game this season due to a lingering injury.

Hilton and receiver CJ Daniels are listed as "questionable" for Saturday's game vs. Ole Miss. Daniels suffered a knee injury vs. South Alabama two weeks ago.

Kelly spoke with reporters after practice on Thursday and named several players that could step up to help the passing game:

"Cleary Zavion (Thomas) will be looked at to play a larger role for us. And Aaron Anderson," Kelly said.

"Also, with Ka'Morreun Pimpton and Trey'Dez Green, we have two ball catchers there who can also be in our rotation. They can certainly help us out from that standpoint."

"Shelton Sampson is another receiver who will get an opportunity to compete for us. And Jelani Watkins."

"We would love to have those guys, but if they're not available, we believe we have guys who can do a nice job for us."
