LSU linebacker Whit Weeks sustained a fracture in his lower right leg, ESPN reported. The team captain and defensive signal-caller is expected to return this season, per CBS Sports.
Weeks was LSU's leading tackler in 2024 but has dealt with significant injuries since the end of that season, according to reporting from Nick Bromberg at Yahoo Sports. The exact timeline for his return remains unclear, though CBS Sports reported that Dahvon Keys will step into the lineup for the Tigers in his absence.
One account noted the injury occurred against Texas A&M, while another indicated Weeks missed the final five games of 2025 with an ankle injury prior to this fracture. The injury comes amid what multiple outlets described as a rash of injuries affecting LSU's roster.
