It appears LSU will start its third offensive line combination in four games.

Toby Weathersby, LSU’s starting right tackle, didn’t travel with the team ahead of Saturday’s SEC West battle at Auburn, according to multiple media reports. Sophomore Maea Teuhema is expected to start in Weathersby’s place.

Weathersby sprained his right ankle in last Saturday’s 23-20 victory over Mississippi State. LSU coach Les Miles declined to answer whether or not he practiced during the week. Weathersby was seen sporting a walking boot on Monday.

An LSU spokesman said the school has no official comment on reports of Weathersby not traveling. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
