BATON ROUGE, La. (WGNO) – LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. is “very questionable” to play against Mississippi State on Saturday.

Head coach Ed Orgeron said Stingley “re-injured the same injury that he had in camp” at practice on Wednesday.

It would be the second straight year Stingley missed the Mississippi State game.

Last year without him, the Bulldogs threw for an SEC-Record 623 passing yards.
