LSU sophomore tight end Jamal Pettigrew has already undergone surgery on a knee injury suffered this summer, sources close to the program confirmed Wednesday.
The injury to the 6-foot-7, 262-pounder out of New Orleans happened during a non-contact workout this summer, although the time and severity of the injury are not yet known.
247Sports was the first to report the knee injury.
Pettigrew played in all 13 games last year as a redshirt freshman and caught his lone 18-yard pass against Troy. He was expected to have a larger role in 2018, but now that will likely have to wait.
