The first injury report is out for Saturday’s matchup between the Tigers and the Longhorns and it carries big news on both sides.
For LSU, after being listed as doubtful all week and not playing against Alabama, Whit Weeks is listed as questionable. Blake Baker’s defense could really use him back this week with their season fully on the line.
Starting RT Weston Davis is listed as probable, which is great news considering he was leaving the stadium on crutches and in a boot on Saturday.
More massive
news is the potential return of Gabe Reliford. The defensive lineman tore his ACL back during spring practice, but has been working very hard to get back before the end of the year. Adding an impact player to your defensive line rotation this late in the season is a blessing.
For Texas, the massive news is star edge Colin Simmons not being listed on the report. He sustained a high ankle sprain against Florida in mid-October and missed the past two games for the Longhorns. With him not being listed at all on Wednesday, it’s safe to assume that the leading sacker in the SEC will make his return. That’s great news for Will Muschamp and bad news for Sam Leavitt.
Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian’s teams will kick off at 6:30 pm central in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.
