LSU Football in the NFL: Preseason Week Two 2024
Jets vs Panthers
This was another game missing starters as the two sides participated in joint practices. In joint practices this week Terrace Marshall Jr torched the Jets which is a positive sign, in the game he caught two passes for 14 yards. On the Jets side, Jarrick Bernard-Converse continues his strong camp recording 4 tackles this game as he's starting to look like a lock to make the Jets.
Rams Vs Chargers
It was another game dominated by defenses with LSU alum DJ Chark rushing the ball once for just three yards. The defensive standout was Omar Speights who recorded a game-leading eight tackles two of which were for a loss. Kristian Fulton did play but, was relatively quiet which is great for a cornerback.
Bucs Vs Jaguars
Starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence didn't play however, we saw Brian Thomas Jr alongside Mac Jones where he caught one pass for 14 yards. Jordan Jefferson recorded two tackles while Maason Smith generated pressures as a pass rusher.
To add further context: Maason Smith had an even higher Pass-Rush Win % of 42.9% on “True Pass Sets.”

Cowboys Vs Raiders
It was a perfect showing for Tiger alum Racey McMath who recorded three catches for 54 yards leading the Cowboys offense. McMath has had a solid training camp with the Cowboys and could make the roster especially as players like Ceedee Lamb hold out of training camp.
Saints Vs 49ers
Foster Moreau is in no danger of being cut from the Saints however, he did make the most out of minimal playing time hauling in one catch for seven yards on one target. Jontre Kirklin was relatively quite as he tries to make the 49ers while Tyrann Mathieu recorded one tackle for the Saints.
