LSU DT Maason Smith Ruled Out vs. FSU After Suffering Knee Injury While Celebrating

The LSU Tigers and Florida State Seminoles hit the field for a matchup at Caesars Superdome on Sunday night, and Brian Kelly's side lost a key defender early in the evening.

Tigers defensive tackle Maason Smith suffered a knee injury while celebrating a stop on 2nd-and-7 from the 26-yard line. Smith jumped up to celebrate before he landed and appeared to tweak his knee.

Smith was looked at for several minutes in the medical tent before walking back to the locker room with a noticeable limp.

Smith, who was spotted on crutches after halftime, was ruled out for the game early in the third quarter.
