The Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris saga at LSU appears to be finished as far as roster movement goes. On Tuesday night, LSU filled the final two spots on its 105 man roster with cornerback Aidan Anding and defensive end Gabriel Reliford, both returning Tigers that suffered season ending injuries during spring practice recently. With the roster now full and locked for the remainder of the season, LSU no longer has the room to add Wright or Harris, even if the ongoing legal battle ends up in their favor.

The two had been in the dark since a Louisiana judge granted them a preliminary injunction last week, clearing the way for them to return for a fifth season of college eligibility despite having signed NFL contracts earlier this year. Wright signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent before being waived and picking up with the Cleveland Browns, who later waived him. Harris signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent before also being waived. Both players committed to LSU shortly after being waived by their NFL teams.

With the injunction partly in their favor, LSU chose not to add either player ahead of Saturday's season opener against Clemson, leaving two roster spots open as it weighed the decision from the SEC's newly passed rule punishing schools that add professional tied athletes to their roster. That decision proved to be the right call by Kiffin. On Tuesday, before LSU officially filled their roster, the SEC filed an amended federal lawsuit against LSU, Lane Kiffin, and university officials, setting a meeting on Thursday for conference presidents and chancellors to vote on whether to remove LSU from the conference.

Lane Kiffin originally addressed the situation during his appearance on ESPN's College GameDay Saturday before the game, saying the choice to leave Wright and Harris off the roster “wasn't easy, as much as I feel for the players.” He added that he had to weigh the uncertainty of what adding them might mean for the program against the bigger picture for LSU and its players.

Attorney Ryan Downton, who represents Wright and Harris, told ESPN the two are now weighing their legal options. Whether that means another challenge specifically aimed at LSU's roster decision remains unknown, but for now, neither player is expected to suit up in Baton Rouge this season. The move looks like it paid off for LSU, as they are no longer expected to be removed from the SEC after recent court battles regarding their expulsion from the conference.

Despite many fans questioning LSU’s focus on their matchup in the midst of all the legal trouble, the controversy did not slow the Tigers down on the field. In fact, they looked more ready than ever after cruising past Clemson 51-10 in the season opener. The Tigers climbed to the top 10 in this week's AP Top 25 Poll, claiming the spot for the number 8th best team in the country. LSU is set to host Louisiana Tech on Saturday, September 12th.
