LSU Tight End Green Questionable for Alabama Game
Trey’Dez Green and linebacker Whit Weeks face availability hurdles ahead of the Saturday contest with the Crimson Tide.

LSU tight end Trey’Dez Green was listed as questionable on Friday for the team's Saturday matchup with Alabama. The Southeastern Conference’s availability report also kept star linebacker Whit Weeks as doubtful, raising questions about the Tigers' defensive depth for the 2:30 p.m. contest at Tiger Stadium.
Green’s status follows a recent return from injury. He played in the October 24 win at Auburn, recording five catches for 50 yards and a touchdown. Since that game, he has continued to wear a brace on his right knee. The injury occurred on September 19 when an Ole Miss tackler’s helmet struck his knee, spraining ligaments without causing a tear. Green told reporters on Tuesday that his physical condition is improving.
Weeks, who wears the same No. 7 jersey as Green, remains doubtful for the game. His status has been consistent in recent reports, suggesting he is nearing a return to action. A return this weekend would be swift given his injury history. Weeks has missed time in three consecutive seasons due to lower-leg injuries, starting with the 2024 Texas Bowl during his sophomore year. He returned as a junior after six weeks, playing alongside his brothers West and Zach in a game against Western Kentucky.
Zach Weeks, who was previously listed as questionable earlier this week, was not included in Friday’s report. This indicates he is expected to play on Saturday. The absence of his name from the list marks a positive shift for the Tigers' secondary and defensive line depth.
On the other side of the matchup, Alabama reported progress for two key players. Receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams and starting center Racin Delgatty were both upgraded from questionable to probable on Friday. This change suggests they are likely to suit up for the game against the Tigers.
LSU has four other players marked out for the weekend. These include safety Dashawn Spears, receiver Phillip Wright, and linebacker Charles Ross, all of whom suffered season-ending injuries. Freshman defensive tackle Richard Anderson is also listed as out. Anderson has been inactive since the Auburn game, missing that contest as well.
