LSU Linebacker Whit Weeks Fractures Leg in Game Against Texas A&M
Coach Lane Kiffin said the injury looked really bad as LSU turned to junior Davhon Keys at linebacker.
- On Saturday, September 26, 2026, LSU senior linebacker Whit Weeks exited the game against Texas A&M at Tiger Stadium with an apparent right ankle injury, leaving the field on crutches wearing a protective boot.
- LSU head coach Lane Kiffin told the ABC broadcast the injury "looked really bad," while junior Davhon Keys replaced Weeks at linebacker with the Tigers leading 21-3 when he departed.
- Injuries have hit the LSU defense hard over the past two weeks; safety Dashawn Spears suffered a season-ending ACL tear, while tight end TreyDez Green sustained sprains forcing him to miss games.
- Weeks has an extensive injury history, including a dislocated ankle during the Texas Bowl two years ago and a broken foot that forced him to miss half of last season.
- With the senior leader potentially sidelined, the Tigers must rely on depth players to maintain the defensive mentality Weeks championed during SEC Media Days as fans await official updates on his status.
