The LSU defense has struggled without first-team All-SEC linebacker Whit Weeks, who injured his ankle Sept. 27 against Ole Miss and has missed 4 straight games. And Tigers interim coach Frank Wilson still is unsure when Weeks will be able to return.
“I sure hope he would. He makes us better,” Wilson said Monday about Weeks. “I’m respectful and understanding of his injury and its impact on his future. If there is a possibility that he can play, he will do so. He said this morning has a desire to play.”

LSU listed Weeks as questionable the Wednesday and Thursday prior to its Week 12 matchup against Arkansas. Wilson then said Weeks would be given a game-time designation Saturday, but the linebacker was instead ruled out of the action Friday.
Weeks has appeared in only 6 games in 2025 and has played a full share of snaps in just 5 outings. Weeks was flagged for targeting and ejected on the first defensive series of the contest in Week 3 against Florida.
Weeks, who recorded 125 tackles in 2024, has only 29 stops in 2025. The Tigers (6-4) play host to Western Kentucky on Saturday (7:45 pm ET, SEC Network) and then finish the regular season Nov. 29 at No. 11 Oklahoma.
