The ankle injury that offensive lineman Tyree Adams suffered on Saturday in LSU's loss to Vanderbilt is expected to sideline him for at least a week, according to multiple reports. Adams, a redshirt sophomore, started each of the No. 20 Tigers' first seven games at left tackle. He was injured in the first quarter of their matchup with the No. 10 Commodores, then was spotted later watching the rest of the contest from the sideline on crutches. LSU inserted redshirt sophomore DJ Chester at left tackle in place of Adams, but he struggled to slow down Vanderbilt edge rushers. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed three pressures, a hit and a sack across 22 pass-blocking snaps. The right side of the Tigers' offensive line had just as much trouble. Right tackle Weston Davis, according to PFF, surrendered five pressures and three hits across his 33 pass-blocking snaps. LSU also faced the Commodores without linebacker Whit Weeks, defensive tackle Bernard Gooden and edge rusher Jimari Butler. Receiver Aaron Anderson and offensive lineman Paul Mubenga returned to the field, but they each had quite days. Anderson caught one pass for 18 yards, and Mubenga didn't play a single snap. Redshirt sophomore Coen Echols started in his place at left guard.
