She said he has been dealing with the illness for the last few days, but will be available and at 100% when LSU welcomes Alabama in Week 10. “LSU fans got a little concerned yesterday when their star tight end Trey’Dez Green popped as questionable on the injury report,” Rutledge said on ABC at halftime of BYU vs. Utah. “He has had the stomach bug that he has been dealing with for a couple days now.

I did see him out at practice yesterday and he was running around, looked as though he was ready to go.” Green made his return from injury in LSU’s Week 8 game against Auburn ahead of the bye. He hauled in five receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown in the 38-17 victory on The Plains. It was his first game action since going down with a leg injury against Ole Miss. Through four games this season, Green has hauled in 19 receptions for 272 yards and two touchdowns as he became quarterback Sam Leavitt’s self-described “safety blanket” this season. He was a key retention for Lane Kiffin ahead of his first season at LSU and immediately made an impact in his first game back from injury last time out. Both LSU and Alabama were on their byes in Week 9 after picking up Week 8 victories. The Crimson Tide got a home win over Texas A&M to snap a two-game skid while the Tigers picked up their second consecutive victory by taking down Auburn on the road. Saturday’s rivalry game is shaping up to be one of the biggest games on the Week 10 slate. Kickoff between. LSU and Alabama is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
