- QB/LB: LSU QB Sam Leavitt on the defense: "They were putting it on us early in fall camp but we came back and started playing better in the scrimmages.

- LSU completed fall camp relatively healthy despite spring injuries to Aidan Anding and Gabriel Reliford, giving the Tigers nearly their full complement for the opener. - Portal quarterback Sam Leavitt moved through scrimmages fully healthy after last year's rib problems and gives LSU the dual-threat element its offense was built to use. - Leavitt is projected to finish second on LSU in rushing and add roughly five to seven rushing touchdowns, while healthy fall work gave him his first extended live-action opportunity to build timing with the receivers.

- LSU's place-kicking operation produced multiple long field goals in its latest scrimmage, but Lane Kiffin said the kickoff unit and broader special-teams assignments still require work. - LSU has not identified a clear No. 1 receiver because the room remains highly competitive and the staff is still determining each player's best alignment and role. - Ed has returned to LSU and is recovering, with Kiffin expecting him to be present for game week. - LSU's portal-heavy offense is improving but remains behind because Sam Leavitt missed much of spring, leading Kiffin to expect stronger cohesion and performance as the season progresses. - LSU will base skill-position rotations on the performance gap between players, using near-even workloads when options are comparable and concentrating touches when an elite hot hand emerges.

- Alabama lost defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman to a season-ending ACL injury; defensive back Jorden Edmonds is targeted for a midseason return, while EJ Crowell and receiver Noah Rogers are expected back sooner. Arkansas lost tight end Maddox Lassiter, defensive lineman J'Lynn Allen and punter Connor Smith for 2026, but RB1 Sutton Smith should be ready for the opener. - Auburn linebacker J.J. Faulk is out for the year, with tight end Jonathan Edwards, tackle Tai Buster and corner Devin Williams still uncertain. Florida reported no major camp loss; Georgia remains without Amaris Williams and likely Dante Dowdell, while center Drew Bobo should play. Kentucky running back Tovani Mizell is out, with Jovante Barnes and receiver Nic Anderson questionable. - LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt and linebacker Whit Weeks are full-go, though edge Gabe Reliford remains out. Missouri RB Ahmad Hardy will miss the opener but is practicing; Gavin Hoffman should be ready and Donta Simpson is cleared. Oklahoma center Jake Maikkula is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. - Ole Miss reported no major preseason injury. South Carolina lost receivers Jaden Sellers and Jayden Gibson for the season, with tackle Jacarrius Peak expected out roughly two weeks and Dylan Stewart unavailable opening weekend. Tennessee lost Edrees Farooq, Jaedon Harmon and Jadas Richard, with several more questionable plus Arion Carter suspended one game. - Texas is evaluating left tackle Trevor Goosby's knee, though no tear was initially indicated. Texas A&M lost Chace Sims and Tiger Riden for the season and receiver Jerome Myles left the team. Vanderbilt had no major new camp injury, while Mississippi State's principal questions are receiver Ayden Williams and limited defensive linemen D.J. Reed and Kalvin Dinkins.
