College Station, Texas
Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss is set to miss a significant amount of time due to an ankle injury he sustained during the Aggies’ game against Florida on Saturday. The announcement was made by head coach Mike Elko on Monday following the team’s victory, which brought their record to an impressive 6-0 this season.
Moss injured his ankle during the first half of the match, where he had already made a notable impact with five carries for 46 yards, including a 22-yard touchdown run. While Elko stated that the injury “will not end his season,” further evaluation is required to determine the exact timeline for his recovery.
This injury is particularly concerning as it marks the second consecutive season Moss has faced a serious injury issue. Last year, he missed the final four games of the season due to a knee injury. This history raises concerns about his durability and the impact on the Aggies’ performance, as Texas A&M went 1-4 in games following his previous injury.
Moss currently leads the team in rushing, boasting 70 carries for 389 yards and six touchdowns this season. His absence will likely be felt in the backfield, requiring the Aggies to adjust their strategy moving forward.
In response to Moss’s injury, sophomore running back Rueben Owens II is expected to step up as the primary ball carrier. Owens is currently the second-leading rusher for the Aggies with 327 rushing yards and has recently performed well, including a game against Florida where he recorded 51 rushing yards and a touchdown. Elko has noted the improvements in Owens’ performance, stating that he has been “starting to hit his stride.”
Alongside Owens, other running backs Amari Daniels and Jamarion Morrow are anticipated to contribute during Moss’s recovery period. As the team prepares for three consecutive road games, starting with Arkansas on Saturday, finding a reliable running game will be crucial for maintaining their undefeated record.
Moss’s injury underscores a broader pattern of difficulty for the Aggies when he is sidelined. Last season’s struggles highlight the importance of his role in the lineup, making his current situation particularly unfortunate. The team will need to rally in his absence to ensure they stay competitive in the coming weeks.
