The SEC availability report lists LSU linebacker Whit Weeks as questionable, while Gabriel Reliford and Weston Davis are probable for Saturday's game in Baton Rouge.

LSU's SEC availability report lists linebacker Whit Weeks as questionable for Saturday's home game against No. 6 Texas in Tiger Stadium. Defensive end Gabriel Reliford and right tackle Weston Davis are listed as probable.
Why it matters
LSU (6-3, 3-3 SEC) is preparing for back-to-back games against ranked opponents, Texas and then No. 8 Tennessee, with its College Football Playoff position in question. Availability updates in the final week before kickoff determine how the depth chart will look against a top-ranked opponent.
The SEC availability report lists Weeks as questionable, which corresponds to roughly a 50% chance of playing. Weeks has been sidelined since a lower-leg injury against Texas A&M on Sept. 26 and was ruled out before the 31-13 loss to Alabama.
The players
Lane Kiffin
Lane Kiffin is the head football coach of LSU, who said it is unlikely Gabriel Reliford will return to play this season.
Whit Weeks

The details

Reliford, who tore his ACL in March during spring practice, is listed as probable, though LSU coach Lane Kiffin said it is unlikely he will return this season. Davis was knocked out by an injury against Alabama and is also listed as probable.
Timeline

Sept. 26, 2026: Whit Weeks suffers a lower-leg injury against Texas A&M.

Wednesday: Richard Anderson is listed as out on the SEC availability report.
Saturday: LSU hosts Texas in Tiger Stadium.
Season Trajectory
LSU's season now turns on the SEC's graded availability system, where Weeks' questionable status comes after several doubtful listings this season. A win over No. 6 Texas would matter for LSU's postseason standing, with No. 8 Tennessee next on the schedule and a season-ending trip to Arkansas.
A questionable listing means Weeks' availability will be decided close to kickoff, which affects how LSU sets its linebacker rotation for Saturday. Fantasy and betting readers tracking LSU defenders should check the final designations before lineups lock.
The takeaway
Injury designations in the final days before a game are the clearest signal of who will play, so check LSU's status updates before kickoff. Weeks' questionable tag means his role should be treated as uncertain until game day.
What happens next
LSU hosts Texas in Tiger Stadium on Saturday, and the team then faces No. 8 Tennessee in Knoxville before closing the regular season at Arkansas.
