LSU QB Jayden Daniels in walking boot, but avoided serious ankle sprain

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels is currently wearing a walking boot to help with a sprained ankle, but coach Brian Kelly said he hopes he'll be able to practice on Tuesday ahead of the SEC Championship Game against No. 1 Georgia on Saturday.

Kelly said Sunday that Daniels' medical exam went well and that the injury is not considered to be a high-ankle sprain -- a more serious injury that can require a longer recovery time.

Daniels was hobbled during Saturday's 38-23 loss to Texas A&M and was replaced at times by second-year quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.
