Brian Kelly shined light on the status of freshman linebacker Whit Weeks, Tigers gearing up for season finale.

No. 14 LSU gears up for their regular season finale against Texas A&M this weekend with Jayden Daniels and Co. preparing for their final showdown in Death Valley.

The LSU Injury Report:

Whit Weeks: Available  

True freshman linebacker Whit Weeks didn't play on Saturday night against Georgia State after getting stitches in his foot last week.

Kelly described it as a "nasty gash" in his foot that required stitches, holding him out on Saturday. Despite having the chance to get on the field, the LSU coaching staff decided to play it safe and hold him out.

"He had an accident that left a nasty gash in his foot. Probably could have played the Georgia State game, but we decided not to push him," Kelly said. "However, we are going to need him this weekend."

Weeks had his stitches removed on Sunday, Kelly said during Monday's press conference.
