LSU running back John Emery Jr. will miss the remainder of the 2024 season after tearing his left ACL during practice on Tuesday. This marks the second consecutive season-ending ACL injury for Emery, who suffered a similar injury to his right knee in 2023. Emery was the team's leading rusher in their season-opening loss to USC, with 61 yards on 10 carries. LSU, currently ranked 18th, will now rely on Kaleb Jackson, Josh Williams, and freshman Caden Durham to fill the void. Emery, a five-star recruit from the 2019 class, has had a tumultuous career plagued by injuries and academic issues. The Tigers face Nicholls in their next game and will need to adjust their offensive strategy without their star running back.
