KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- LSU outside linebacker Arden Key and middle linebacker Donnie Alexander did not travel with the team to Tennessee for Saturday's game with the Volunteers, a source confirmed to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune on Friday.
LSU left Baton Rouge around 2:30 Friday afternoon without Key or Alexander.
Both players had been listed as "questionable" by Ed Orgeron after missing practice this week. Key appeared to hurt his knee against Arkansas while Alexander has been dealing with shoulder/neck injuries throughout the season.
The Tigers will most likely start true freshmen at both spots. K'Lavon Chaisson could start for Key and Tyler Taylor could make the start for Alexander.
