Last week ended with uncertainty swirling around the status of wide receiver Russell Shepard due to a potential NCAA issue. This week starts with more uncertainty at the position, albeit for an entirely different reason.
According to BayouBengalsInsider.com, incoming freshman Jarvis Landry has suffered a stress fracture in one of his feet and could miss an extended period of time. Specifically, the website sets the timetable for a return at four weeks, which would obviously mean he would miss most of his first summer camp at the collegiate but could return in time for the opener against Oregon.
That would be barring any type of setback medically, of course.
Landry was a five-star member of LSU’s 2011 recruiting class and, according to Rivals.com, was the No. 4 receiver in the country as well as the No. 18 player at any position.
Before the injury, Landry was expected to come in and push for extensive and meaningful playing time. How this reported injury will affect those plans remains to be seen.
