During his annual Wednesday radio show, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko answered many questions regarding the roster ahead of the Aggies’ Week 3 road test against Florida on Saturday afternoon.
However, it was revealed on Thursday that starting quarterback Conner Weigman is now questionable to play due to an undisclosed injury, while starting nickel cornerback Tyreek Chappell sustained a potentially long-term injury during practice. For the Gators, the injury list is even longer.
One of the presumed offensive starters who has not seen the field this season is redshirt sophomore Tight end Donovan Green. He suffered a season-ending ACL tear before the start of the 2023 season and is still working his way back to the lineup, according to Elko.
“Unfortunately, he is still just trying to kind of get back to the form that he knows he can be. …. Trying to get that knee back moving the way he is comfortable moving and the way he used to before the injury.”
Lacking dependable playmakers this season, Green’s 2022 freshman campaign saw a player on the rise, only to be immediately shelved until further notice. However, Green’s work ethic and positive mindset should only help speed up his return this season.
Texas A&M will travel to Gainsville to take on the Florida Gators on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m. CT. The game will air on ABC.
