The most that's been seen of Arden Key this preseason has been an LSU-issued video that showed him an a yellow non-contact jersey. The edge rusher otherwise has not been cleared for contact during practices, LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Saturday.
Key's status for the LSU opener Sept. 2 against BYU at NRG Stadium in Houston will come after a visit with his doctor next week, Orgeron said.
That doctor will then talk with the LSU team doctor, "and they'll let me know when he can go," the coach added.
Orgeron said it was not uncommon for players to consult an outside doctor.
