LSU Quarterback Danny Etling said today he’s getting close to being a 100-percent since undergoing back surgery. Here’s Head Coach Ed Orgeron’s observations about the passing game after the first day of practice…

Dillon is a sophomore from Pine High School in Washington Parish. He’s also expected to contribute on special teams.

Orgeron says starting guard Maea Teuhema (My-uh Tay-uma) is dealing with academic issues, so he’s not at practice. Lloyd Cushenberry from Dutchtown High School in Ascension Parish has moved from center to right guard to fill that spot.

One guy that’s looked good during the first week of camp is wide receiver Brandon Coleman, who could see more playing time this season now that Brandin Cooks has been traded. Coleman understands he needs to be a more consistent performer….

Coleman averaged just 11 yards a catch last season after averaging 15 yards a grab during the 2015 campaign.

During a question and answer session with season ticket holders, Jets safety and former LSU Tiger Jamal Adams said the football field is a perfect place to die. Adams made the comment after he was asked about player safety. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was part of the Q-and-A session.
