BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU interim coach Ed Orgeron expects star running back Leonard Fournette to practice Monday and return to the lineup this week.
Fournette has missed three games this season, including the last two, because of a nagging ankle injury he initially suffered in an August scrimmage.
Although he expects Fournette back, Orgeron is unsure whether the former Heisman Trophy contender will be at full strength when No. 25 LSU (4-2, 2-1 SEC) hosts No. 23 Ole Miss (3-3, 1-2) on Saturday at Tiger Stadium (9 p.m. ET, ESPN).
