LSU defensive back Sevyn Banks, who was strapped to a stretcher and carted off the field during last Saturday's win at Auburn, suffered a spinal cord bruise, coach Brian Kelly told reporters on Monday.
"Nothing else," Kelly said. "No structural issues."
Kelly said it was a "scary situation" and thanked Auburn's medical staff for their support.
Banks, a graduate transfer from Ohio State, was injured during the opening kickoff of the game and was quickly taken to the hospital.
Kelly said Banks would be out 5-6 weeks.
Kelly said the recovery timeline is similar to that of fellow defensive back Major Burns, who suffered a neck injury last month.
