A crucial matchup is on the horizon for the Texas A&M Aggies as they prepare to face off against No. 9 Missouri on Saturday. The team received a boost this week with the news that quarterback Conner Weigman’s injured shoulder has shown significant improvement. According to insiders, Weigman is expected to dress and be available for the game, marking a major step forward in his recovery.
Weigman’s progress has been evident in practice, where he has taken on more reps and demonstrated increased mobility. While Marcel Reed is still the likely starter for the fourth consecutive game, there is a possibility that Weigman could reclaim his starting role if he’s deemed 100% healthy.
The Aggies’ coaching staff will have a tough decision to make come game time, weighing the pros and cons of each quarterback. Weigman’s impressive performance during training camp earned him the starting job, and his availability will undoubtedly be a factor in the staff’s deliberations.
Reed has had his moments, particularly in the Florida game where he played at a high level. However, his recent performances have been more subdued, with the team struggling to find consistency on offense. In the Arkansas game, the Aggies managed just 297 total yards, with Reed completing 11 of 22 passes and rushing for a mere 13 yards.
The team’s passing offense has been hindered by a lackluster receiving corps, with Cyrus Allen leading the way with 11 catches for 203 yards. As a result, Texas A&M’s passing offense ranks a dismal 117th in the country and last in the SEC, averaging a paltry 162 yards per game.
Weigman’s injury has been a lingering issue since the season opener against Notre Dame, where he suffered an AC joint injury in his throwing shoulder. He aggravated the injury in Week 2 against McNeese and has been sidelined for the past three games. His return to the lineup could be just what the Aggies need to get their offense back on track.
