The injury situation for LSU is starting to take shape ahead of their crucial matchup against Alabama on Saturday. Notably, Carius Curne, who filled in as left tackle in the previous game against Texas A&M, has been cleared and was a full participant in Thursday’s practice. This bodes well for the Tigers as they look to strengthen their offensive line; with starting left tackle Tyree Adams ruled out, Curne is expected to make his third career start, providing a potential boost to LSU’s running game.
Unfortunately, the news isn’t as positive for junior linebacker Whit Weeks, who has been labeled “Doubtful” due to a bone bruise. This will mark his third consecutive game missed, leaving Davhon Keys, West Weeks, and Harold Perkins to take up the linebacker duties in his absence. Additionally, Zach Weeks, the youngest of the three Weeks brothers, has been downgraded to “Out” for the game, further challenging LSU’s depth on defense.
On the other side of the field, Alabama is preparing for the matchup with some promising news. Sophomore standout wide receiver Ryan Williams has been listed as “Probable,” suggesting that he is likely to participate, which could add an exciting element to the game.
As both teams gear up for the highly anticipated showdown, kickoff is scheduled for just after 6:40 p.m. from Tuscaloosa. Fans will be watching closely to see how these injury updates impact the game, hoping for an electrifying battle between the two powerhouse programs.
