LSU LB Whit Weeks gets injury update ahead of Alabama game

LSU has a massive game on deck this Saturday against No. 4 Alabama under the lights at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
If the Bayou Bengals want to pull off one of the biggest upsets of the season, their defense will have to find a way to slow down Ty Simpson and the high-powered Alabama offense in one of the most hostile road environments in the SEC.
Getting junior linebacker Whit Weeks back would certainly be a massive boost for interim head coach Frank Wilson and the rest of the LSU defense, but Wilson said during the SEC coaches teleconference call on Wednesday that the Tigers’ defensive captain is “more doubtful.”
Weeks, who has been dealing with a lingering ankle injury, has missed the past 2 games for LSU against Texas A&M and Vanderbilt, both of which ended up being losses for the Tigers.
There was some hope that the recent bye week would give the star linebacker for the Tigers the time he needed to finish rehabbing the injury, but this doesn’t appear to have been the case.
Weeks entered 2025 as a preseason First-Team All-American selection, and has racked up 26 total tackles and 1 sack across the 5 games he has played in so far this year for the Tigers.
