LSU LB Whit Weeks sidelined after fractured fibula

LSU defensive standout Whit Weeks faces a lengthy recovery period after suffering a broken fibula during Saturday evening's matchup against Texas A&M. The starting linebacker exited the contest during the third quarter using crutches and a protective boot before departing the venue via a golf cart, undergoing corrective surgery early Sunday morning.

Weeks has posted 23 total tackles alongside 2.5 tackles for loss across four appearances this year. Observers maintain optimism that he could potentially make his way back to the gridiron for the November 7 contest against Alabama, provided his rehabilitation proceeds without setbacks.
