I am certain he is injured. Maybe not a huge blow in the regional if LSU wins it's first two games, but he will definitely be needed in the rubber game of the super regional, if we make it that far.
That does suck, but really, the only team that may pose any kind of challenge is ULL. Any idea if he'll be back for the super? The good news is that Jacoby Jones is back at 100% and Laird is ahead of schedule, even though he won't play until the weekend.
I don't think he's injured. He "violated team rules". Maybe missed a curfew or something. Manieri said his status will be re-evaluated for super regionals. If he was injured, I think they'd tell so we wouldn't think of all these bad things.
Another thought, while injured, he violated team rules??? OR After violating team rules he somehow injured himself?
Maybe he got injured while violating team rules? Maybe he skipped class to go skateboarding and fell and bruised his shoulder.
