LSU star Derek Stingley Jr. won’t be on the field in the near future.
According to Bleacher Report, head coach Ed Orgeron announced Wednesday that the talented cornerback is out indefinitely after foot surgery. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
His absence this season will continue to be a huge blow to the Tigers, who desperately need help on the field.

Stingley has already missed a couple games this season and given the stretch of teams the Tigers are about to play, his absence is going to be brutal.
He’s arguably the team’s best player and he should be a high NFL draft pick. When you’re about to play a lineup of ranked squads, you need guys like him on the field.

Instead, he’s out for an indefinite amount of time. A rough season gets even rougher in Baton Rouge. If you’re a fan, then it might be time to start getting very nervous.
I already wrote earlier Wednesday that Coach O’s seat could soon be on fire. This definitely doesn’t help the cause.

Best of luck to the Tigers with Stingley possibly done for good in Baton Rouge. Remember, it can always get worse!
