Dural was the driver of the vehicle in an early-morning accident Sunday. He was heading north on Nicholson Drive and made a left turn onto Bob Pettit Blvd. without having a green arrow, Baton Rouge Police spokesman Cpl. Don Coppola said. A Chevy Avalanche, driving south-bound on Nicholson, collided with Dural’s vehicle. No citations were issued.

Paramedics responded to the corner of Nicholson and Bob Pettit Blvd. at 3:16 a.m. Sunday, EMS spokesman Mike Schustz said. LSU beat Sam Houston State 56-0 on Saturday, a game that ended at about 10 p.m. Dural was transported to Baton Rouge General Medical Center-Mid City for the injury, a source said.

Dural received stitches and has been cleared to play by doctors as long as he can wear his helmet without disturbing the stitches.

Dural, a sophomore from Breaux Bridge who leads the nation with 48.5 yards per catch and is second with four touchdowns, bumped his head when the car he was in was hit from behind. He required several stitches on his forehead and was held out of practice on Monday and Tuesday. He was also held out of media interviews on Monday and Tuesday but was seen at the football facility and on campus with the stitches clearly on his forehead.

LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette had no comment on Dural and referred questions about his status for Saturday's game against Louisiana-Monroe to LSU coach Les Miles, who regularly meets with reporters on Wednesday nights after practice.

If Dural cannot play, expect wide receivers John Diarse, Trey Quinn, and Malachi Dupre to see more playing time against ULM.
