LSU football news: Whit Weeks exits Texas A&M clash on crutches

During their conference matchup against Texas A&M, fourteenth-ranked LSU suffered a major blow when star linebacker Whit Weeks had to leave the contest in the third period. The defender walked off the turf sporting a protective boot and leaning on crutches after picking up a right ankle injury, having already contributed four tackles and a quarterback hurry while his squad held a commanding twenty-eight to six advantage.

Weeks missed five games during the previous campaign due to a lower-leg ailment after racking up one hundred twenty-five tackles as a sophomore, later adding thirty-one tackles and a sack to his shortened 2025 season. The Tigers now await medical assessments to determine the severity and recovery timeline for one of their defensive anchors as they continue their conference schedule under head coach Lane Kiffin, whose squad previously defeated Clemson and Louisiana Tech before falling to Ole Miss.
