Brian Kelly Sheds Light On LSU OL Tyree Adams' Recent Surgery

On Wednesday, LSU backup offensive guard Tyree Adams revealed that he had surgery to fix an undisclosed injury after posting a picture from a hospital bed.

Head coach Brian Kelly spoke with reporters on Thursday after practice and said that Adams suffered a sports hernia during Ole Miss pregame last week and is now "out" as he recovers from surgery.

"He had what would be considered a sports hernia and had to have surgery for it. So he's clearly out," Kelly said.

"It's something that happened in pregame. It's crazy. I've never seen it happen in over 30 years. He was taking all the reps with the second group, physically in good shape, lifting weights, and had this happen in pregame warmups. It's too bad. So he had to have surgery, and he's out."

It is unknown how long Adams will be out, but typical recovery after sports hernia surgery is 6-12 weeks.

Adams, a redshirt freshman from New Orleans, made one start this season vs. Nicholls, replacing Garrett Dellinger, who was out with an injury he suffered in the season opener.
