The much maligned quarterback is said to have suffered the injury against Alabama in the eighth week of the season. Interestingly enough, the loss to the Crimson Tide began a stretch in which LSU lost three straight games -- putting Les Miles' job in serious jeopardy.

On the year, Harris threw for 2,158 yards and 13 touchdowns. His efficiency as a quarterback will need to improve heading into 2016. He completed passes at a 53.6-percent clip -- which is a two-percent decrease when compared to 2014.
