LSU QB Sam Leavitt removed from injury report ahead of top-10 showdown against Ole Miss
Sam Leavitt was removed from LSU’s injury report after a doubtful designation, and SEC data show only 9% of similar starters played last season.
On Friday night, LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt was removed from the team's availability report, clearing him to play against Ole Miss this Saturday.
Lane Kiffin initially listed Leavitt as 'doubtful' on Wednesday due to an upper body injury, prompting speculation about potential gamesmanship ahead of his return to Oxford.
SEC data shows only nine percent of starters listed as 'doubtful' on initial reports play in games, illustrating the rarity of Leavitt's rapid 48-hour recovery.
LSU and Ole Miss kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, broadcast on ABC, with police reportedly calling in reinforcements for the tense matchup in Oxford.
Addressing recent performance, Kiffin stated, 'Sam's gotta do a better job taking care of the ball,' emphasizing red-zone execution for the upcoming SEC contest.
