Toefield returns to LSU practice

BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA - Running back LaBrandon Toefield, who broke his left arm Oct. 5 against Louisiana-Lafayette, returned to the LSU practice field on Monday. <br> <br> Toefield was exempted from contact, but had his helmet and shoulder pads on for the session. <br> <br> ``I&#39;m not sure that he will be ready to play in this game, but maybe some time in the near future if he continues to make progress,&#39;&#39; coach Nick Saban said. <br> <br> Toefield was LSU&#39;s leading rusher last season with 992 yards, which earned him First-Team All SEC honors. He had gained 323 yards in five games this season. <br> <br> ``The big thing we want to do is make sure that we are not putting him in any risk when he goes out there,&#39;&#39; Saban said. <br> <br> Doctors had said Toefield would be out for six weeks after the injury. That would keep him off the field for two more weeks. <br> <br> BACK IN THE BCS: LSU returned to the Bowl Championship Series rankings Monday at 13th. They were No. 9 in the first BCS poll on Oct. 21 but fell out after a 31-7 loss. <br> <br> HALLOWEEN HEX: Once LSU gets past Halloween it&#39;s been practically unbeatable under coach Nick Saban. <br> <br> The Tigers have a 10-1 record in games after October.
