Cut 18 (13) “…win, bring em”

Kiffin says former Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright is now practicing with LSU. Wright spent time in training camp with the Cleveland Browns before he was released on August 22nd. A court hearing on Thursday will go a long way to determining if he can play in the season opener against Clemson.

Defensive end Jack Pyburn will not rejoin the Tigers. After his release from Tampa Bay, he was added to the Kansas City Chiefs roster.
