LSU ruled Whit Weeks out for Saturday night’s Week 11 showdown at Alabama, a big blow to the Tigers’ defense as they try to pick up the pieces after a bye week.
The star linebacker had already been downgraded from questionable to doubtful on Thursday night’s availability report, and 24 hours later the junior was downgraded again to out.
Weeks has sat out LSU‘s past 2 games with a bone bruise in his ankle, and now it appears he’ll miss a 3rd straight game on a huge national TV stage in primetime as the Tigers and Crimson Tide do battle at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
Weeks aggravated the ankle injury against Ole Miss back in Week 5, so he’s been hobbled for some time as Week 11 arrives. His ankle issue actually goes back to last season, when he suffered a broken ankle in LSU’s bowl game against Baylor.
With Weeks out of the LSU lineup again, the Tigers will likely lean more on sophomore Davhon Keys and senior West Weeks, who is Whit Weeks’ brother. The 3rd Weeks brother at LSU, freshman linebacker Zach Weeks, was also listed as out on Friday night’s availability report.
Meanwhile, Alabama star wideout Ryan Williams was listed as probable on Friday night for the SEC rivalry game, with the Crimson Tide trying to win their 8th straight game and stay on course for a College Football Playoff berth.
