LSU defensive star Whit Weeks out for Alabama matchup
Summary

LSU linebacker Whit Weeks will miss the key SEC game against No. 9 Alabama on Saturday at Tiger Stadium. Weeks has been sidelined since late September with a leg injury, complicating LSU's defensive strategy against a strong Alabama offense. His absence will be felt as he plays a crucial role as a team captain and communicator on the field. Although Dahvon Keys has filled in successfully, Weeks’ injury adds further challenges as LSU aims to maintain their defensive performance.
