LSU WR Brian Thomas Jr. is out for today's game against the Razorbacks. 

According to The Athletic’s Brody Miller, Arkansas starting quarterback KJ Jefferson is dressed out, but hasn’t been seen throwing with the other signal-callers in warmups. He is off to the side with the other coaches as he continues battling a shoulder injury. Something to monitor as kickoff approaches.

Weather conditions are frigid in Fayetteville. With ice remaining on the field, both the Tigers and Razorbacks will be going through warmups as they continue looking to remove the snow.
