BATON ROUGE - LSU linebacker Whit Weeks has been upgraded to "questionable" on LSU's initial SEC Availability Report. The status is a step up from last week's "doubtful," as Weeks did not play in LSU's loss to Alabama.

Weeks has not played since the Tigers beat Texas A&M in week four of the season. In that game, the senior fractured his fibula and has been working to return since. 

While the initial status does not guarantee he will play on Saturday when the Tigers face the Texas Longhorns, it does show progress in Weeks' recovery.

A new change with the report, defensive end Gabriel Reliford has been listed as "probable." Reliford was not expected to play this season after suffering a reported torn ACL during spring practice. He has not been listed on any previous reports.

Both LSU and Texas will update their availability reports on Thursday and Friday.
