The gist
LSU removed tight end Trey'Dez Green from its injury report ahead of Saturday's game at Auburn.
His expected return boosts a 5-2 LSU offense that lost him in Week 3.
Background
Trey'Dez Green is a junior tight end for LSU, listed at 6-foot-7 and a preseason All-American who was the team's go-to receiver early in the 2026 season. He injured his knee in Week 3 against Ole Miss and had been expected to stay out until LSU's November 7 game against Alabama. In roughly 11 quarters over three games he had 14 catches for 222 yards and a touchdown. With Green out, LSU moved Roman Mothershed to tight end and entered the Auburn game 5-2 amid season-ending injuries to multiple starters.
How it unfolded
- Sep 19, 2026LSU lost 24-32 to Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss.; Green suffered a knee injury in the Week 3 game and was helped off the field, later returning to the sideline on crutches.

- Oct 21, 2026LSU removed Green and defensive lineman Princewill Umanmielen from its injury report ahead of the Week 8 Auburn matchup; ESPN's Pete Thamel reported the expectation was that Green would play Saturday.
- Oct 22, 2026The Wednesday injury report for LSU-Auburn no longer listed Green; LSU's OUT list was Phillip Wright, Whit Weeks, Dashawn Spears and Charles Ross, with Richard Anderson doubtful.
- Oct 24, 2026The final injury report ahead of LSU vs. Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium, an 11 am central kickoff, still did not list Green.
Who’s saying what
- Analysts
- ESPN's Pete Thamel reported the expectation is that Green will play for the Tigers on Saturday.
- Caution
- WWL's Jeff Palermo noted LSU has not officially confirmed Green will play, and that absence from the report does not guarantee availability, since coaches sometimes use injury reports for gamesmanship.
- Support
- LSU wide receiver Jackson Harris told reporters he would be good to go for Saturday at Auburn.
Still unverified
LSU has not officially confirmed whether Green will play against Auburn; his absence from the report does not guarantee availability, and coaches sometimes use injury reports for gamesmanship, per WWL's Jeff Palermo. Reports say to monitor whether Green reappears on the report based on his potential return to practice.
