The Texas A&M Aggies enter Week 2 of the 2022 college football season 1-0 after their 31-0 home win against the Sam Houston State Bearkats in a game that lasted nearly 6 hours due to a complete 2-hour and 50-minute weather delay during the halftime break.
Before the game, head coach Jimbo Fisher chose not to release a depth chart/injury report before kickoff. Yet, media members attending the game combined with those of us who were watching the cameras document Aggie players warm up on the field noticed a number of key players not suited up including starting cornerback Jaylon Jones, starting nose tackle McKinnley Jackson, starting center Bryce Foster (Illness), cornerback Deuce Harmon, tight end Blake Smith, and starting tight end Max Wright, who was wearing a knee brace.
After the game, the Aggies nearly escaped injury free, with the one issue being linebacker Andre Whites’ minor knee strain towards the end of the 4th quarter, though he did get up on his own and walk back to the sideline. During Monday’s post-game press conference, Fisher was asked about the current player injury outlook heading into Week 2, stating that Jaylon Jones and McKinnley Jackson would make their way back to practice on Monday, while Andre White is apparently day to day. In the case of Bryce Foster, Jimbo explained “I’m hoping, but I don’t know when (he’ll return). … They tell me day-to-day in the medical room.”
All in all, the Aggies look to be in very good shape leading up to the Sept. 10th showdown vs. Appalachian State.
