When the statement failed to say if Stingley had officially been dominated out of Saturday’s video game, a source told ESPN that his availability towards Mississippi State would be “extremely not likely.”would be accessible to engage in. Yet another resource advised ESPN that “it really is up to the medical doctors.”
LSU’s assertion explained Stingley’s return to exercise will arrive “just after a entire analysis by the medical workforce.”
Stingley was a consensus All-American as a accurate freshman very last time and was expected to anchor a defense as just one of two returning starters.
The sophomore started out all 15 video games for LSU’s 2019 nationwide championship squad as a freshman and led the SEC with six interceptions, which rated fifth nationally. His 21 passes defended also led the SEC and ranked 2nd nationally.
