Senior Safety Jalen Mills was injured this morning during LSU Football practice spokesperson Michael Bonnette confirmed. Rumors circulated Wednesday afternoon that Mills could be out as much as six weeks and miss as many as two games with an ankle sprain. But LSU would not confirm or deny those reports.
Mills is one of the Tigers’ most experienced defensive backs, and started all 39 games of his LSU career at safety. Junior Rickey Jefferson is Mills’ backup at safety. Jefferson replaced Mills at safety in LSU’s nickel and dime packages at times last season.
