On Wednesday, it was surprising when Kyle Parker was ruled out for the game as the Tigers were on a bye week this weekend. The news is worse than anyone could have imagined as Brian Kelly announced on his radio show that Parker would be ruled out for the season with a torn tricep tendon.

The news is devastating for Kyle Parker as he was quickly emerging as a breakout player for LSU. This offseason all Parker did was impress, flying up the depth chart with impressive Spring and Summer camps.

Parker was so impressive this offseason that he started the season opener for LSU when Chris Hilton Jr was ruled out for the game.

Kyle Parker ends the season with three catches for 55 yards and a touchdown recording a catch in three different games. The highlight of the season for Parker will be his incredible 45 yard touchdown catch against UCLA.

The injuries this season are out of hand for LSU

This season is feeling like a disaster for LSU on the injury front and the Tigers have continued to adapt and survive but, it's getting out of hand. The Tigers lost Chris Hilton Jr to bone bruises in his foot before the season and haven't gotten him back. Week One, LSU lost John Emery for the season, Week Two they lost Jacobian Guillory for the year, Week Four they lost Harold Perkins for the year, and Week Five lost them Kyle Parker. The injuries continue to rack up at important positions and at some point things may get too much to overcome for LSU.
