LSU’s offensive line is nearing its original form.
Every starter from LSU’s season-opening offensive line participated in practice Tuesday, but three of them worked in yellow non-contact jerseys. Senior guard Josh Boutte returned to practice after sitting out Monday’s practice. Boutte was seen in LSU’s practice facility on Monday with a tape rolled around his right ankle.
Sophomore right tackle Toby Weathersby (ankle) and left guard Will Clapp (ankle) were limited in Tuesday’s “Competition” practice, both wearing yellow non-contact jerseys.
Though Clapp and Boutte participated in drills, Weathersby did not.
After starting last week against Southern Miss, junior center Andy Dodd worked with the No. 2 offensive line squad as senior center Ethan Pocic returned to work with the first team.
LSU’s No. 1 offensive line in drills, from left to right, consists of junior tackle K.J. Malone, Clapp, Pocic, Boutte and sophomore tackle Maea Teuhema.
Sophomore tight end Foster Moreau also practiced in a non-contact jersey and was able to go through drills with the tight end group.
At his weekly press conference on Monday, LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Clapp and Moreau would be “questionable” for Saturday’s game against Ole Miss.
Junior running back Leonard Fournette practiced for the second-straight day. Orgeron said he would let Fournette do his bet in practice and see how he progresses.
“We’re going to let him do all he can,” Orgeron said Monday. “He’s going to tell me, ‘Hey, coach, I’m 100 percent, 80 percent, 90 percent. These are the things I can do.’ We’ll run the plays he’s able to run.”

Defense

Freshman nose tackle Ed Alexander was absent in Tuesday’s practice. Alexander was seen around LSU’s practice facility on Monday with a soft cast on his arm.
Senior defensive lineman Greg Gilmore and sophomore defensive lineman Travonte Valentine worked back-and-forth at nose tackle spot. Alexander, the third-string nose tackle, has played in five games this season and has six tackles.
