Ryan Perrilloux, who is no longer suspended from the team, may return to practice next Monday.
Speaking at a press conference Thursday afternoon concerning the events surrounding next weekend's spring game, Tigers coach Les Miles gave another update on Perrilloux's status.

"Everyone must do these workouts before they can practice.
"There are six coaching workouts. The six workouts for Ryan started (Wednesday). So, his weight room work and his running began (Wednesday). He has to make them up on his own time. It's his responsibility to the team to be in shape when he returns."
According to Miles, LSU Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Tommy Moffitt and his staff are in charge of Perrilloux's work.
"The last workout for (Perrilloux) will be on Saturday," Miles said. "He may rejoin the team (for practice) Monday."
The Tigers are scheduled to practice Thursday afternoon and scrimmage Saturday morning. LSU will have four practices next week, including the spring game on April 5. The Tigers will practice on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday before the game.
Miles indicated there was "a chance" that Perrilloux would play in the spring game as long as he keeps "doing the things he should be doing." However, Miles denied that Perrilloux has won the quarterback job.
"(Perrilloux) will be allowed to compete fully for the position," Miles said. "We are not ready to rely upon anybody at the quarterback spot right now. There are three guys at that position. There will be a competition. (Perrilloux) has to compete for that spot."
Miles said that the spring game will be more game-like than in the past. However, there will still be situational plays. That structure is simply the way with which Miles feels most comfortable.
"Coaches think the spring game has to be in a way that's the best way to teach," Miles said. "In my background, coaches have not embraced a full-fledged spring game. There will still be certain down and distance plays."
According to Miles, approximately 15,000 tickets have been sold for the spring game. Miles believes that it helps the team to play before a large crowd.
"I'd like to see a pile more tickets sold," Miles said. "We are putting new players on the field. They need to know the passion of the LSU fans. There is competition at a lot of positions. It's a great day for the guys to show their strengths and abilities."
Miles stressed that it will not be a full game. He said that there will be about 100 plays during the night.
