- Whit Weeks sustained a fracture in his lower right leg during LSU's win over Texas A&M on Saturday, per sources cited by ESPN's Adam Rittenberg
- The injury isn't believed to be season-ending, but coach Lane Kiffin said only that "it didn't look good when he walked off" and had no further update postgame
- Weeks was seen leaving on crutches with a boot on his foot; CBS Sports reports he is out to undergo surgery for the fracture
- A permanent team captain and 2024 first-team All-SEC selection, Weeks ranks second on LSU with 23 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and three quarterback hurries this season
- Weeks missed five games with a leg injury last season, his second significant lower-leg issue in consecutive years
- LSU has five candidates to fill the linebacker spot: Davhon Keys, Zach Weeks, Charles Ross II, Tylen Singleton, and Keylan Moses
Why it matters: Losing Weeks strips LSU of its second-leading tackler and a defensive captain mid-season, and his history of missing five games last year with a leg injury underscores how thin the Tigers' linebacker depth just became heading into SEC play.
