LSU linebacker Whit Weeks suffers significant ankle injury
LSU linebacker Whit Weeks suffered a significant injury during the Tigers' matchup against Texas A&M. Weeks exited the game on crutches wearing a walking boot on his right ankle. Head coach Lane Kiffin described the injury as looking ‘really bad,’ though the exact duration of his absence remains unclear.
This injury adds to the defensive challenges for LSU, following the season-ending ACL injury to starting safety Dashawn Spears during the previous game against Ole Miss. The team faces a critical period as they attempt to recover from recent losses and manage mounting personnel issues.
