LSU tackle K.J. Malone set to return to practice; has eyes on return Saturday

LSU left tackle K.J. Malone isn't sure if he'll play Saturday in the Tigers' regular-season finale against Texas A&M, but he's going to do his best to make sure he's out there.

Malone told reporters he suffered an injury to his patellar tendon against Florida on Oct. 7 but he will return to practice Monday afternoon as he attempts to work his way back onto the field - even if he doesn't play against the Aggies.

"It's my last time dressing out in Death Valley," Malone said, "so I had to do it."

Malone said he expects to participate in individual drills on Monday's practice and will dress out for his final game as LSU honors 20 seniors on Saturday.
