LSU wide receiver Travin Dural will miss the rest of the season, Les Miles announced Wednesday.

Dural has a tear in his hamstring and will undergo surgery, which will require a recovery time of three months, Miles said. The Daily Reveille, which first reported the news, said Dural’s surgery is scheduled for this week.

Dural was injured during LSU’s loss to Ole Miss over the weekend. He is second on the team with 28 catches for 533 yards and three touchdowns this season. He also caught 37 catches for 758 yards and seven touchdowns in 2014 and seven catches for 145 yards and two scores in 2013.

After starting 7-0, LSU has dropped three straight games headed into Saturday’s season finale at home against Texas A&M. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET.
