The pile of LSU player absences grew Wednesday afternoon at the Tigers’ sixth practice of preseason camp, and it included two of the program’s highly touted true freshmen.

Cornerback Derek Stingley, considered by some outlets the No. 1 overall recruit of the 2019 recruiting class, and running back John Emery, considered by some as the No. 1 running back, both were missing during the hot and sunny outdoor practice.
