Overview
- Weeks suffered the leg injury during LSU’s 35-6 win over Texas A&M and was seen leaving the game on crutches in a walking boot.
- LSU confirmed Weeks has a fractured leg and is scheduled for surgery early next week with the team awaiting post‑operative clarity on his timetable.
- Reporting differs on which leg was fractured, with some outlets citing a left‑leg fracture and others saying the right leg was damaged, so officials expect surgery updates to settle the discrepancy.
- CBS Sports sources say there is optimism Weeks could return within about four to six weeks, but that estimate is tentative and depends on surgical findings and recovery.
- Weeks is a fourth‑year senior, team captain and the defense’s on-field play-caller; his history of serious lower‑leg injuries raises concern and forces backups such as Dahvon Keys and Charles Ross II to absorb larger roles ahead of a key stretch of SEC games.
