BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU coach Brian Kelly says linebacker Harold Perkins Jr. has an anterior cruciate ligament injury that has ended what was expected to be his final season with the Tigers before entering the NFL draft. The injury occurred while Perkins was making a tackle in the fourth quarter of 14th-ranked LSU's 34-17 victory over UCLA.

He had 7 1/2 sacks among 13 tackles for loss, four forced fumbles and an interception that season.
