Dealing with sore throwing shoulder Leavitt is dealing with a sore throwing shoulder and has been limited in practice, per Pete Nakos of On3.com.

Impact Leavitt was listed as doubtful in LSU's initial injury report for Saturday's game against Ole Miss, and now the nature of his injury has been revealed. The team has been monitoring him closely this week, and it seems they don't want to further aggravate the ailment, leaving him unlikely to suit up for the SEC matchup. It will be an injury worth tracking considering his impact on the offense as he looks to break out as a top quarterback in all of college football this season.

Listed as doubtful Leavitt (undisclosed) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Mississippi.

Impact Leavitt is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is doubtful to suit up for the conference opener against Ole Miss. The quarterback hasn't found his rhythm with the Tigers this season, but he remains a key piece of the offense, tossing for 574 yards and two touchdowns along with four interceptions. If he isn't good to go for Saturday, expect backup Landen Clark to start under center.

Impact Leavitt put up some big yardage through the air but had a very rough second quarter as he threw three interceptions including two in the redzone, one of which was returned 100 yards for a touchdown. Leavitt did turn things around in the second half as he did not turn the ball over again and accumulated three total touchdowns. Leavitt will hope he got the interception bug out of his system as the Tigers enter their SEC opener next week against Ole Miss.
