Left tackle Saahdiq Charles will not play, LSU coach Ed Orgeron said on his weekly call-in show.

On the other side, right tackle Austin Deculus will be a "game-time decision," Orgeron said, later adding that "right now" he didn't think the junior would play and that he could miss multiple games. Orgeron did not disclose Deculus' injury.

Deculus suffered an injury vs. Alabama and had to come out but was able to return and finish the game. While he was out, left guard Adrian Magee moved to right tackle and Ed Ingram went in at left guard.

Orgeron said earlier this week that backup tackle Badara Traore will play at right tackle if Deculus is out and that they will "experiment with Adrian Magee at left tackle."

Charles has sat out four games this season due to what Orgeron has called a "coach's decisions." He has played vs. Texas, Vanderbilt, Florida, Auburn and Alabama.
