LSU senior center Braelin Moore will be available to play for this weekend’s matchup against Florida, coach Brian Kelly said Thursday.
“Braelin took all of the reps with the first team,” Kelly said. “He’s ready to go.”
Moore suffered a left ankle injury on the first snap of LSU’s win over Louisiana Tech last weekend. He was listed as questionable to play on Wednesday’s Southeastern Conference availability report and spent the end of last Saturday’s game wearing street clothes and a walking boot.
Multiple reports on Sunday suggested that Moore had suffered a high ankle sprain. Kelly said that wasn’t the case on Monday.
“We didn’t get the true sense that we have a high ankle sprain with Braelin,” Kelly said Monday. “There was nothing that gave us that sense when we looked at the MRI that this is a tightrope procedure and he’s going to be out for four weeks.”
Along with Moore, sophomore tight end Trey’Dez Green and redshirt sophomore wide receiver Destyn Hill were also listed as questionable to play on the SEC injury report. Green, Kelly said Thursday, will likely be a game-time decision as to whether he’ll be available against the Gators.
Green suffered a right knee injury against Louisiana Tech. Hill fractured his left hand in Week 1 against Clemson, an ailment that required surgery.
“He’s not where we need him to be today,” Kelly said, “but we still have some time.”
The only other Tiger listed on Wednesday’s injury report was freshman defensive lineman Zion Williams. Kelly said Thursday that Williams is in concussion protocol.
