A preliminary injunction by a Louisiana judge against the NCAA is helping LSU’s effort to add former NFL players. East Baton Rouge Parish Judge William Jorden issued the ruling Thursday night, one day before LSU was due to submit its 105-man roster to the Southeastern Conference. The SEC had warned that teams bringing in ex-pros could face heavy potential punishment, and the decision allows LSU to list some former NFL players, though the number of games they may be eligible to play is still uncertain. The sports brief also highlighted Colorado’s 14-13 season-opening win over Georgia Tech with a late touchdown from freshman QB Julian Lewis, plus US Open results that saw Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff and Alex Eala advance.
