LSU football injury updates: Two starters are questionable before the Tigers play Alabama

LSU interim coach Frank Wilson gave an update Monday on the Tigers’ injured players heading into their game Saturday night against No. 4 Alabama.

Star linebacker Whit Weeks and freshman offensive lineman Carius Curne are questionable to play against the Crimson Tide, Wilson said.

Weeks missed the past two games with an ankle injury. It is the same right ankle that required surgery after he suffered an injury during the Texas Bowl last season.

“We’ll get him out there tomorrow to see what he can do and kind of measure it and build it as the week goes on based on his pain tolerance,” Wilson said.

Curne participated in walk through Sunday, Wilson said. He did not specify the nature of Curne’s injury.

Curne filled in at left tackle in place of redshirt sophomore Tyree Adams, who Wilson said is out with a “longterm” injury. Curne has started twice this season, including in LSU’s last game against Texas A&M.

“We’re hopeful,” Wilson said. “We’re taking it day-by-day.”

If Curne can’t play, Wilson said redshirt sophomore DJ Chester would “probably” play left tackle. However, he said LSU is also considering moving right tackle Weston Davis to the other side of the line.

Kalen DeBoer updates status of injured Alabama players entering LSU game

During his weekly press conference Monday afternoon, Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer updated the status of a few injured players entering the LSU game.

Among those were a pair of key rotation options at their respective positions in offensive lineman Geno VanDeMark and tight end Danny Lewis Jr., as well as starting wolf Qua Russaw, who has missed a majority of the season.

“VanDeMark is making good progress, DeBoer said. “Has been practicing this last week, so I expect him to be ready to go. Qua has made, I think I mentioned last week, he’s made good progress. That continues to be the case. Probably don’t expect him to be ready to go this weekend, but he’s doing a lot more than he has, and that’s very promising with the direction he’s been going.”

“Danny Lewis, we’ll see how things go through this week, but the bye week was certainly good. He wasn’t able to play the previous week, so I’m hopeful that he’ll be ready to go, but we expect him to be on the football field practicing with us more this week than he has the previous two.”

Of those three, VanDeMark was considered as a game-time decision going into the South Carolina game, while both of Lewis and Russaw were out.

VanDeMark has also seen a significant amount of action this season for the Crimson Tide at offensive guard, while Lewis has missed a number of games, and currently has only two receptions for 17 yards this season. Russaw has not played since the Georgia game, and will undoubtedly be a name to watch going forward, as a potential return in the coming weeks for the outside linebacker would be huge for Alabama’s defense down the stretch.

The latest update on each of these three players will come Wednesday night when the initial SEC Availability Report is released for the Week 11 matchup between Alabama and LSU, which will take place Saturday Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC from Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
