STARKVILLE — Mississippi State football star quarterback Kamario Taylor is listed as questionable on the initial SEC availability report.
Starting running back Fluff Bothwell is also questionable.
The No. 19 Bulldogs (4-1, 2-1 SEC) play at No. 21 LSU (4-2, 1-2) on Oct. 17 (11 a.m. CT, ESPN).
They are coming off an open week following a 56-23 loss to Alabama where Taylor exited the game early and watched the fourth quarter with a boot on his right foot. Bothwell also left that game after the first drive and had a boot on his left foot.
Billy Puckett and AJ Swann are listed as co-backups to Taylor on the Mississippi State depth chart.
The Bulldogs could also be without two linebackers against the Tigers. Jalen Smith, who also got injured against Alabama, is ruled out. Zakari Tillman, a starter who's only played once this season, is doubtful.
The availability report will be updated nightly until 90 minutes before kickoff. See the full report below.
