LSU DT Jacobian Guillory leaves game vs. Nicholls with potentially serious leg injury

One of LSU’s biggest fears was potentially realized during the first half of Saturday night’s home opener against Nicholls State.

Defensive tackle Jacobian Guillory limped to the sidelines after a play and entered LSU’s injury tent. When he emerged, he had a cast around his leg and was placed into a wheelchair, according to 247Sports’ Glen West.

It’s safe to assume his night is done, and while we don’t know the severity of the injury, it would be a potentially disastrous loss for the Tigers. Defensive tackle is a position without much depth as Guillory was one of just two returning players with game experience at the position.

Without him, LSU will instead have to lean heavily on transfers Gio Paez and Jay'Viar Suggs.
