LSU Gets Crushing Injury News on Top Defensive Starter After Texas A&M Game
LSU blew out Texas A&M, but the win came at a cost, with a star defender suffering a serious injury with no timetable for return.
LSU suffered a major setback after star linebacker Whit Weeks sustained a leg fracture during Saturday's game against Texas A&M. The injury, detailed by On3's Pete Nakos and Wilson Alexander, has left the All-SEC player's return date uncertain. Weeks, a four-star prospect and a top-ranked linebacker entering his fourth season at LSU, was heavily relied upon by coach Lane Kiffin.
The injury came as a double blow for Kiffin, who had recently dealt with a loss to Ole Miss, his former team. Weeks, who committed to LSU in July 2022, had a stellar season in 2024, earning first-team All-SEC honors with 125 combined tackles, 61 solo tackles, and three sacks. His absence will be felt as LSU faces a challenging schedule, including games against top-ranked opponents like Mississippi State, Alabama, Texas, and Tennessee.
