The Texas A&M Aggies are set to face their toughest test of the season this Saturday against the LSU Tigers.
However, they did not come out of that matchup unscathed, with multiple key players being hobbled or knocked out of the game due to injury.
On Monday, head coach Mike Elko gave injury updates to those players, and what they are looking at in terms of recovery time, starting with the huge loss of offensive lineman Chase Bisontis.Elsewhere the news was more positive for the Aggies on the injury front, with Elko noting that do-it-all freshman Terry Bussey was 'fine' after missing Saturday's matchup with an undisclosed injury.On the defensive side of the ball, the news was good as well for Texas A&M.
"Jayvon is good," Elko said. "Jayvon is just battling some stuff that comes with the wear and tear of football."Fortunately for the Aggies, it appears that Scourton's issues were related to an illness rather than a physical injury, and he is on track to play without issues vs. LSU. "Nic was sick last week, and he really didn't get nutrition, or hydration the way he needed to," Elko said. "He was having a hard time over the weekend keeping stuff down. He was cramping because he was ill, but he pushed through, and so he'll be fine."ou can follow us for future coverage by clicking "Follow" on the top right-hand corner of the page.
