Even though LSU does not have a game this Saturday, they are at practice this week. Head Coach Ed Orgeron says running back Derrius Guice will not practice at all to make sure he’s fresh for top ranked Alabama on November 4th. But edge rusher Arden Key will be on the practice field as he continues to work himself into shape after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.

Saints Wide receiver Michael Thomas did not practice today because of a knee injury. It’s unclear how significant it is or if it will keep him from playing this Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Fellow wide receiver Willie Snead practiced fully, as he’s not been able to get on the field because of a hamstring injury.

Anthony Davis is day-to-day with a knee injury. He left last night’s game after bumping knees with a player from Portland. The Trail Blazers beat the Pelicans to drop their record to 1-and-3. An MRI on Davis knee was negative. New Orleans is at Sacramento tomorrow night.

Former LSU standout Alex Bregman will bat second again tonight as the Astros look to even up the World Series at one game a piece. The Dodgers are sending lefty Rich Hill to the mound, while Houston counters with Justin Verlander.

cut 18 (19) “….more athletic”
Mays will likely start at shooting guard, while Connecticut native and freshman Tremont Waters is the likely starting point guard.
