On Friday Night it became apparent that LSU would get one wide receiver back from injury with Chris Hilton Jr making his season debut. The injury everyone was watching was the injury of CJ Daniels as the wide receiver was a game time decision coming off of his best game of the season against Arkansas.

During Pre Game warmups it looked like Daniels was going to give it a shot as he came out to test out his heavily taped ankle.

While warming up, Daniels looked like the explosive wide receiver we've seen he can be as he ran routes despite the injury.

When the team returned to the field for padded warmups, CJ Daniels was in full pads sealing the deal. The transfer wide receiver should be healthy enough to give it a go for LSU despite being a game time decision. During Warmups, Daniels was running with the first team offense which further solidified his status.

It's massive for LSU to have both Chris Hilton Jr and CJ Daniels active for this game given the magnitude of this game. Hilton is that speedy deep threat that can stretch the field that the Tigers have been missing all year except for a few Kyle Parker snaps. We won't know how much Hilton plays or what the gameplan is until these teams kick off but, its massive for LSU to get him back into the fold.

Last Week, Garrett Nussmeier and CJ Daniels started to click with Daniels catching seven passes for 86 yards both of which were season highs. In a game that decides first place in the SEC, its so massive to have all of the weapons available especially as LSU tries to force Texas A&M into an up-tempo game.

Defensive tackle Kimo Makane'ole was ruled out earlier today so LSU will be without a depth piece but, it shouldn't impact this game.
