LSU star Whit Weeks suffered a gruesome dislocated ankle during their Texas Bowl showdown with Baylor - before medics popped it back into place on the field. Weeks, a linebacker for the LSU Tigers, was left in agony late in the first half on New Year's Eve when he fell to the ground following a Baylor one-yard touchdown score.

The 19-year-old ended up at the bottom of a pile with his leg caught underneath multiple players, before ESPN cameras eventually caught a glimpse of his sickening injury. Graphic images showed his right foot twisted in the wrong direction as he was treated by medics, who were forced to pop the dislocated ankle back into place.
ESPN also captured the moment Weeks' ankle was put back into place at the NRG Stadium in Houston, before several of his teammates - including older brother and fellow LSU player West - rushed over to check how he was doing. Their worried parents could also be seen watching on from the crowd as Whit lay on the floor in visible pain.

With the ankle popped back in, Weeks was carted off the field after virtually all of his teammates surrounded him to offer their support. 'This response is a testament to the role that he plays on this team,' ESPN’s Taylor Davis said on the broadcast. 'An unbelievable player, but the undisputed leader. He was one of my player interviews this week and he told me how much this place means to him – so much so, that Brian Kelly has turned to him and to handle some of the transfer portal situations.
