Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC) enters the final week of the 2024 regular season with everything on the line when the Aggies host the Texas Longhorns on Saturday night for a bid to the SEC Championship game against Georgia.
While it looked highly unlikely that the Aggies would even have a shot at the College Football Playoff, Alabama’s shocking loss to Oklahoma opened the door for the Maroon & White to win their way in, no matter how tough that may seem on paper.
Throughout the week, head coach Mike Elko and his team will try to enjoy Thanksgiving on Thursday, but that’s a hard ask given what’s coming while needing to prepare for the toughest overall battle this season.
Several injury reports have been released during the week. Friday’s latest availability report included an update on Texas A&M starting left guard Chase Bisontis, while Texas starting quarterback Quinn Ewers (ankle) remains probable to play.
Texas A&M injury updates:
- Le’Veon Moss- RB (Out for the season)
- Mark Nabou – OL (Out for the season)
- Cyrus Allen – WR (Out for the season)
- Tyreek Chappell – DB (Out)
- Rueben Owens – RB (Questionable)
- Jaydon Hill – CB (Questionable)
- Will Lee III – CB (Questionable)
- Jaylen Henderson – QB (Questionable)
- Chase Bisontis – OL (Probable)
Texas injury updates:
- Derek Williams Jr. – DB (Out)
- CJ Baxter – RB (Out)
- Christian Clark – RB (Out)
- Velton Gardner – RB (Out)
- Quinn Ewers – QB (Probable)
Chase Bisontis Update:
Texas A&M’s star left guard is now listed as probable as of Friday, giving him a 75% chance to start, which automatically boosts the Aggies blocking up front. A healthy Bisontis is a huge boost when you need to control the ball and elongate drives.
Quinn Ewers Update:
Quinn Ewers is almost guaranteed to start, as the junior has been listed as probable throughout the week. Still, his ankle could be an issue early if the Aggies’ defense line makes an early impact, which could lead to the insertion of backup QB Arch Manning.
No. 19 Texas A&M will host No. 3 Texas on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 pm. CT. The game will air on ABC.
