LSU cleared former NFL players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris to return to college football earlier in the week, but did not add them to the roster for Saturday's home opener against Clemson. The decision came amid an ongoing legal dispute between the SEC and LSU over whether former professional athletes should be eligible to play college football, with the SEC attempting to enforce a ban on such players. CBS Sports reported that LSU subsequently won a court ruling that cleared the path for the ex-NFL players' return, suggesting the roster exclusion was a precautionary measure during the legal proceedings.
