LSU Football News: Wide Receiver Malik Nabers Will Not Miss Games in 2023

LSU football star Malik Nabers won't miss any time this fall after being arrested this offseason, according to head coach Brian Kelly.

Nabers was arrested on misdemeanor weapons charges but prosecutors dropped those charges on the condition that Nabers surrender his gun.

And though Nabers won't miss any of this coming football season, he did face some internal discipline inside the program, according to Kelly.

LSU begins football practice on March 9 and plays its spring game on April 22.
