NFL declares that Dae'Quan Wright and Xavian Harris — who were at the center of the LSU controversy — are ineligible for 2026 season

The NFL has officially ruled that Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris cannot participate in the 2026 campaign following their involvement in an LSU-related dispute. Wright, a tight end, previously took part in summer workouts with the Philadelphia Eagles in late July.

Harris, a former defensive tackle for LSU, departed training camp with the New Orleans Saints in an effort to compete under Lane Kiffin with the Tigers. Following the collapse of that college opportunity, Harris auditioned for another professional club before receiving the league's ban alongside Wright.
