LSU football linebacker Whit Weeks was listed as questionable on Wednesday's injury report, suggesting the star defender could return for LSU's Week 11 game vs. Texas. Weeks has been out since LSU's Week 4 win over Texas A&M.
Originally, the Alabama game was circled as a potential return date for Weeks, but Weeks wasn't yet ready when the Tigers took on the Crimson Tide last week. Per On3's Pete Nakos, Weeks continues to trend in the right direction this week.
When Weeks is on the field, he's one of the top linebackers in the SEC. Weeks and TJ Dottery on the field together give LSU a top-notch linebacker duo. LSU's defense has produced without Weeks, but Weeks' athleticism gives the unit another element.
The senior linebacker has 100 solo tackles
in 36 games, along with 19 tackles for loss and five sacks. Weeks is a well-rounded player who makes a difference in stopping the run, getting after the passer, and in coverage.
The next injury report will be released on Thursday night. Weeks will likely be questionable again, but more clarity should come as game time approaches on Saturday.
LSU LB Whit Weeks is questionable this week against Texas and continues to trend in a positive direction.
