Final injury report ahead of Texas A&M vs. Ole Miss
Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2 SEC) got back in the winner’s column after earning their first win in nearly a month, downing the visiting South Carolina Gamecocks 30-17 on Saturday afternoon.
Having arrived in Oxford (MS), Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher and his resilient team are set to face the 11th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels and the notorious head coach Lane Kiffin, looking for revenge after last season’s home loss, spoiling than freshman quarterback Conner Weigman’s memorable four touchdown debut.
Having not earned a true SEC road win since the 2021 season, Fisher is also 0-2 vs. Lane Kiffin since his arrival at Ole Miss, making this matchup one of the most important in his Aggie coaching career as his future at the helm remains shaky.
On Monday, Fisher spoke to the media to preview the matchup and provide any new injury updates after last week’s 30-17 win over South Carolina, headlined by the surprise absence of starting running back Le’Veon Moss.
After enduring a minor strain, Moss will return Saturday vs. Ole Miss, but freshman wide receiver Raymond Cottrell (foot) is out indefinitely. Sadly, rotational defensive end Enai White, seen walking around with crutches last weekend, will miss the remainder of the 2023 season due to a lower-body injury. Lastly, free safety Jardin Gilbert and right tackle Reuben Fatheree II have yet to rejoin the starting roster as they continue to rehab.
For the Rebels, wide receiver Qua Davis’s status may change later this week, but as of Monday, he will be out this weekend. On a final note, Conner Weigman’s rehab progression is going very well, as the sophomore standout was on the sidelines with a stability scooter and is slated to be 100% healthy ahead of the 2024 season.
