According to a report by Ross Dellenger with The Advocate and Jacques Doucet with WAFB, LaCouture will miss the entire 2016 season due to a torn ACL. Geaux247 has confirmed the report and also learned that the senior defensive lineman suffered some damage to his LCL as well.

Dellenger also reported that Washington will miss the year with ligament damage to his knee.

Those are two tough blows for the Tigers with LaCouture slated to start along the defensive line, while Washington was running second team at the Buck linebacker position behind Arden Key.
