Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor's availability for this Saturday's game at No. 22 LSU is in flux as he deals with a foot injury, per ESPN and CBS Sports. No timeline for a decision has been reported.

Taylor has been central to Mississippi State's season. The No. 16 Bulldogs enter the week at 4–1 overall and 2–1 in SEC play, sitting sixth in the conference. Their trajectory has been uneven: after wins over South Carolina (41–34) and Missouri (31–24) in late September, they suffered a decisive 56–23 loss to Alabama last Saturday before the injury surfaced.

The timing compounds the challenge Mississippi State faces in Baton Rouge. LSU, ranked No. 22, represents a significant test within the SEC, and losing Taylor would remove the player most responsible for the Bulldogs' offensive firepower this season. The reporting does not indicate whether a backup has been named or when the team expects clarity on his status.

The game is set for Saturday, October 17.
