Texas A&M (0-0) is set to kick off their 2023 football season against the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday, Sept. 2, inside what should be a packed and raucous Kyle Field.
On Monday, head coach Jimbo Fisher took the podium to answer a plethora of questions regarding the team’s preparation before the weekend’s festivities while providing a brief update on the Aggies injury front post-fall camp. As many of you already know, sophomore tight end Donovan Green suffered a torn ACL and will miss the entirety of the 2023 season. Still, outside of Green’s terrible misfortune, Texas A&M’s roster is in the best shape it’s been at this time of the season for the first time in several years.
However, as the week winds down, the offensive line, specifically starting center Bryce Foster’s game status, is something to look out for after Fisher’s recent update.
“He was practicing and playing last week. We’ll see how he does and practices this week. He’ll give us a lot of different options if he’s ready to go.”
Foster’s dual-athlete status as a standout Track and Field star kept him out of spring football season before returning for fall camp. While no specific injury currently hampers him, Fisher’s precautious nature is not surprising due to Foster’s vital importance within the Aggies’ offense.
Keeping with the O-line, Fisher also announced that left tackle Trey Zuhn, who battled the injury bug throughout the 2022 season, is back to full health and is set to return to his blindside blocking duties, while standout freshman tackle Chase Bisontis will also see action, most likely at right tackle due to starting RT Reuben Fatheree’s mild knee injury suffered this spring, as he’ll attempt to work his way back into the lineup, with a probable return date coming on the road against Miami on Sept. 9.
