LSU football is back.

The Tigers began spring practice Thursday afternoon with a series of padless drills in the indoor football facility with a key player returning from injury, a few players sitting out because of injuries, a new coach and a handful of new players.

Heralded pass rusher K’Lavon Chaisson ran through pass rush drills with a wrap around his right knee, where he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the 2018 season opener against Miami.
