By KACE KIESCHNICK, Tiger Rag Staff Reporter

LSU senior linebacker Whit Weeks could still make his return to the field in his likely final opportunity to play in Tiger Stadium, but a final decision will have to wait until pregame warm-ups. Weeks was the only player on either side labeled as a game-time decision on the final Southeastern Conference availability report for the LSU-Texas game on Saturday night.

The No. 21 Tigers (6-3, 3-3 SEC) and No. 6 Longhorns (7-2, 4-2 SEC) are set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. in Tiger Stadium.

Weeks has been sidelined since the Tigers’ 35-6 victory over Texas A&M on Sept. 26. He reportedly fractured his fibula and underwent surgery a few days after the game. He targeted a return against Alabama but was unable to play after landing as doubtful on the availability report all week..

LSU starting right tackle Weston Davis was taken off of the report and made available for the top 25 showdown after being listed as probable during the week. The sophomore exited LSU’s 31-13 loss to Alabama during the third quarter with an apparent ankle injury.
