Texas A&M (4-1, 2-0 SEC) will face the undefeated 9th-ranked Missouri Tigers (4-0, 1-0 SEC) for an early 11:00 a.m. kickoff on Saturday afternoon. Aggies’ head coach Mike Elko continued to play coy regarding who will start at quarterback, with redshirt sophomore Conner Weigman returning to practice this week.
Weigman’s shoulder injury has healed after missing the last three games. Still, outside of Elko’s brief update earlier this week, redshirt freshman quarterback Marcel Reed is expected to start his fourth consecutive game. However, Elko also stated that Weigman will be a game-time decision to suit up.
On Friday, Texas A&M’s latest availability report revealed much of the same, as Weigman continues to be listed as questionable. At the same time, offensive lineman TJ Shanahan will miss his second consecutive game after sustaining a lower-body injury against Bowling Green.
Only two players are listed as out for Missouri, defensive end Darris Smith and quarterback Sam Horn, while wide receiver Marquis Johnson is listed as questionable.
Overall, both teams entered the game with minor health concerns.
Texas A&M will host Missouri on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 11:00 a.m. CT. The game will air on ABC and will be available for streaming on ESPN+.
