Texas A&M (5-1, 3-0 SEC) is a little less than a week removed from demolishing a top-10-ranked Missouri team 41-10 last Saturday afternoon. The Aggies moved to an impressive 3-0 in SEC play and are leading the conference standings.
After the win, head coach Mike Elko quickly noted that despite dealing with several injury issues this season, including starting quarterback Conner Weigman, who dealt with a shoulder injury before returning against the Tigers, the team is in great shape health-wise.
In his first start since Texas A&M’s Week 2 52-10 win over McNeese, Weigman completed 18/22 for 276 yards in one of the more memorable and impressive outings in his young career as the redshirt sophomore looks to remain the starter after backup Marcel Reed went 3-0 in his absence.
While it isn’t known if Weigman is 100% healed, another week and weekend off to rest and recuperate should have him back to preseason form.
Elko also noted after the game that starting right guard Ar’Maj Reed-Adams, who has dealt with a lower-body issue, is “fine,” while center TJ Shanahan, who has missed the last two games, could be back against Mississippi State, as Elko is holding out hope going into next week’s practice.
