The marquee matchup of Week 3 in the college football season sees the No. 7 LSU Tigers travel to face the No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels.
Because leavitt did not appear to suffer an obvious injury during LSU’s Week 2 victory over Louisiana Tech, the initial injury designation was unexpected. The designation immediately created uncertainty over whether the quarterback would be available against Ole Miss. Those concerns have now been put to rest. Leavitt has been cleared to play Saturday night after being completely removed from the SEC injury report on game day. It remains unclear exactly when Leavitt sustained the issue or what specific injury prompted LSU to place him on the report. He also did not mention being hurt when speaking with reporters after the win over Louisiana Tech. The situation initially appeared to raise questions about whether LSU was using the injury report as a form of gamesmanship ahead of its meeting with Ole Miss.
LSU raised eyebrows earlier this week when Leavitt appeared on the team’s initial injury report as doubtful.
