With injuries both healing and occurring, Texas A&M and Arkansas have intriguing players to watch

Texas A&M will be without its usual starting quarterback. Arkansas should be with its All-American running back.

Max Johnson. In.

Connor Weigman. Out.

Rocket Sanders. In?

A number of changes on the injury front for both Texas A&M and Arkansas could drastically alter the face of Saturday’s Southwest Classic between the two teams.

Reports out of College Station indicate that starting quarterback Connor Weigman will miss the Arkansas game – and perhaps the season – with a foot injury, leading to Max Johnson’s likely start.

And in Fayetteville, preseason All-American running back Rocket Sanders, who has missed the last three games with a knee injury, is clearly healing from his malady and seems poised to make his return against the Aggies.

The injury report likely won’t swing the game completely in Arkansas’ expected favor, but could see a sign of change from the expected way the game shakes out Saturday.

Let’s take a look at those players and some others to keep an eye at kickoff.
