LSU is dealing with some significant injury news just 10 days away from the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Tigers running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered a hamstring injury during practice on Tuesday. The severity of Edwards-Helaire’s injury is still unknown. Coach Ed Orgeron said Wednesday evening that Edwards-Helaire was tentatively questionable for the Peach Bowl against Oklahoma and that the team would know more about the injury by the end of the week.

Edwards-Helaire has had a massive role on LSU’s high-flying offense this season. The junior has rushed for 1,290 yards and 16 touchdowns on 197 carries on the year.
