LSU removed Tamarcus Cooley from Thursday’s injury report for Saturday’s game against Texas A&M, while Ja’Keem Jackson moved from doubtful to questionable. The Aggies listed Jamarion Morrow and Ashton Bethel-Roman as questionable and Terry Bussey out.
Cooley appears likely to replace Dashawn Spears at LSU’s STAR position, with Jhase Thomas taking Cooley’s spot. Spears is out for the season with a torn ACL. LSU also listed Trey’Dez Green and Phillip Wright III as out; Wright is out for the season, while Green has a sprain that does not require surgery and is expected to miss a few weeks, though the article says he should return later this season.
At Texas A&M, Bethel-Roman has battled injuries through the first few games and has two receptions so far; the report says he could become important to the offense, but his availability Saturday remains uncertain. Bussey, who can line up at receiver or in the backfield, is listed out.
