News Summary
Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss will be out for a significant duration following an ankle injury sustained in the team’s recent win against Florida. Despite his impressive performance, including a touchdown run, concerns about Moss’s durability arise as this marks his second consecutive year with a serious injury. With Moss temporarily out, sophomore Rueben Owens II will step up as the primary ball carrier, while the team faces a challenging schedule ahead.
College Station, Texas – Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss will miss a significant period due to an ankle injury sustained during the team’s recent victory over Florida. Coach Mike Elko confirmed the injury and its implications following the game that improved the Aggies’ record to 6-0.
Moss was injured in the first half of the match while tackling an opposing player. Medical staff from Texas A&M quickly attended to him, indicating the severity of the situation. Despite his early exit from the game, Moss had already contributed significantly, with five carries for 46 yards and a 22-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.
This season, Moss has emerged as a crucial player for the Aggies, leading the team with 70 carries and accumulating 389 rushing yards, alongside six touchdowns. However, this incident marks the second year in a row that Moss has faced a serious injury. Last season, he missed the final four games due to a knee injury, which raised concerns about his durability.
Elko noted that although Moss’s current ankle injury will not end his season, it will necessitate a significant recovery time. Further evaluations are scheduled to ascertain the exact nature and extent of the injury to guide his rehabilitation process.
With Moss sidelined, Texas A&M must adapt quickly. Sophomore Rueben Owens II will step in as the primary ball carrier. So far this season, Owens has made an impact with 327 rushing yards on 56 carries and has already scored his first touchdown this season, achieving a career-high 142 rushing yards against Mississippi State.
Moreover, Coach Elko has indicated that teammates Amari Daniels and Jamarion Morrow will also play important roles in the offensive backfield during Moss’s recovery period. This depth will be vital as the Aggies face three consecutive road games, starting with a challenging match against Arkansas.
The Aggies traditionally struggle in games when Moss is not in the lineup. Last season, they had a dismal record of 1-4 during the games he was sidelined, highlighting his importance to the team’s overall success. Elko commended Moss for his dedication and the positive impact he has made on the program, demonstrating that the team will feel his absence in the upcoming challenges.
This latest development adds another layer of challenge for Texas A&M as they look to maintain their undefeated streak and build momentum heading into the latter part of the season.
