LSU has waited on the return of junior wide receiver Chris Hilton.
After practice on Thursday head coach Brian Kelly told reporters than Hilton participated fully and is questionable for Saturday’s game at LSU. Twice this season Hilton has been listed as probably, but the speedy wide out has yet to dress out for a game.
“He’s made progress,” Kelly said. “This has been a slow process for us and him. I think more than anything else, you don’t bring a wide receiver back after this long out unless he’s properly conditioned. Because then you go pull a hamstring,
“It’s not the leg anymore. And he’s not concerned and we’re not concerned about the leg. This is much more about a conditioning element relative to soft tissue more than anything else.”
Due to Hilton’s absence and redshirt freshman Kyle Parker’s season ending tricps injury, LSU is light on bodies at wide receiver. True freshman tight end Trey’dez Green has moved to wide out, and graduate CJ Daniels came back from injury Saturday at Arkansas.
LSU and Texas A&M will kickoff Saturday at 6:30 at Kyle Field.
