Overview
- LSU first listed Leavitt as “doubtful” after he missed a Wednesday workout, a designation that signals an estimated 25% chance to play under SEC rules.
- Reports say Leavitt missed Wednesday’s session with back spasms or upper‑body/shoulder soreness but took part in a Thursday walkthrough, prompting LSU to change his status to “questionable.”
- The injury descriptions come from multiple local and national outlets that cited limited practice reps and back spasms as the reason for the midweek absence.
- Ole Miss staff and some reporters have expressed skepticism that the early “doubtful” tag reflected a real injury, and the SEC can fine schools $25,000–$100,000 for late or inaccurate availability reports.
- If Leavitt is ruled out in the final 90‑minute pregame update, LSU would likely start Landen Clark or Husan Longstreet, and coaches must weigh Leavitt’s recent stat line and past missed games in making that decision.
