Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss is set to miss a “significant period of time” due to an ankle injury sustained during a recent game, as announced by head coach Mike Elko. Moss suffered the injury in the second quarter of the Aggies’ victory against Florida on October 11, 2025.
In that match, Moss notched up 46 rushing yards along with one touchdown on five carries before being forced to leave the field. Currently for the season, he has amassed 389 rushing yards on 70 carries, averaging 5.6 yards per attempt, and has scored six touchdowns. The injury occurred during the Aggies’ Week 7 game, raising concerns among fans as Texas A&M improved their record to 6-0.
Coach Elko has confirmed that the ankle injury is “not related” to the knee injury Moss sustained last season, which caused him to miss the final four games. In the previous season, Moss was the leading rusher in the SEC with 765 yards on 121 carries before suffering a tear to his ACL and MCL against South Carolina.
Despite the setback of losing Moss, Elko indicated that this injury would not be season-ending, providing a glimmer of hope for Moss’s eventual return. In light of his absence, Rueben Owens II, a sophomore and former five-star recruit, is expected to step up as the primary replacement for Moss. This season, Owens has already accumulated 327 rushing yards and one touchdown.
Additionally, freshman Jamarion Morrow and senior Amari Daniels are anticipated to receive more playing time as part of the team’s efforts to compensate for the loss of Moss. As of now, Texas A&M’s rushing offense holds the sixth position in the SEC, showcasing a strong performance thus far.
Historically, the Aggies have maintained a solid record of 13-1 in games where Moss started and completed the match over the last two seasons. In contrast, the team’s performance after Moss’s knee injury last season saw them struggling, finishing the remainder of the season with only one victory in five games, the lone win being against New Mexico State.
Looking ahead, the Texas A&M Aggies are set to face the Arkansas Razorbacks next, as they enter a challenging stretch of three consecutive road games. The team is expected to navigate this trying period without their star running back, relying on their collective strength and strategic prowess to maintain their undefeated record.
