An ever-present injury situation at LSU continues to get worse. Offensive tackle Chasen Hines will miss the rest of the season. The Tigers lost Anthony Bradford, another tackle, for the year in October.
The total stands at 12 starters who won’t play against Arkansas — Bradford, Hines, defensive end Andre Anthony, wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, safety Major Burns, defensive end Ali Gaye, defensive tackle Joseph Evans, offensive lineman Ed Ingram, cornerback Eli Ricks, defensive back Sage Ryan, defensive lineman Maason Smith and cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.
LSU beat Arkansas 27-24 last season in Fayetteville, extending their streak to five consecutive victories in the series. The Razorbacks haven’t won at Tiger Stadium since 2015, which is also the last time they’ve beaten the Tigers.
