Report: Rashard Lawrence Hurt His Ankle During The Syracuse Game

LSU defensive end Rashard Lawerence made his return to the football field Saturday night vs Syracuse after missing the last two games with an ankle injury that he suffered in the season opener.

Lawerence looked very impressive vs. Syracuse but unfortunately injured his other ankle during the 4th quarter and left the game. Luckily he was able to walk under his own power and was without a boot after the game. Per The Advocate:

He added this injury wasn’t as bad as the injury to the opposite ankle that knocked him out for two weeks.

“He hurt his other ankle,” Orgeron said. “We’re different with Rashard Lawrence in there. I think you guys can see that. He’s our leader. He’s our bell cow. He played on a hurt ankle tonight, but he played the whole game. He got hurt, but hopefully, it doesn’t keep him out long because he makes a difference.”

Prior to leaving the game, Lawerence had recorded five tackles, a sack and a tackle for loss.
