Auburn guard Brandon Council out for year with knee injury
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Auburn right guard Brandon Council is expected to miss the rest of the year with a knee injury.
Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said Sunday that Council sustained a 'œpretty severe knee injury'ť in the win over Mississippi.
'œThat was real tough," Malzahn said. "He was really coming on and he's a super person and a really good player. That's going to be a tough blow.'ť
Redshirt freshman Keiondre Jones replaced him against Ole Miss and senior Austin Troxell is another possibility Saturday against LSU.
Council was a three-year starter at Akron, where he logged starts at four different positions on the line. He started at right tackle in the Arkansas game.
