Conner Weigman has been in the spotlight for the No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies ahead of their Week 6 clash against the No. 9 Missouri Tigers on Saturday. The quarterback has been nursing a shoulder injury, which has kept him out of action for a few weeks.
Conner Weigman injury update ahead of Week 6
On Wednesday, Texas A&M coach Mike Elko provided an update on Conner Weigman.
“He’s now throwing,” Elko said. “We’re able to get him out there and functioning a little bit, which is good. He will be a game-time decision this week.”
Weigman suffered a sprain of the AC joint in his shoulder in Texas A&M's season-opening loss to Notre Dame. The signal-caller then played the first five drives of Texas A&M’s win over McNeese State in Week 2 before being replaced by Marcel Reed.
Since then, Weigman has not played for the Aggies as he continued his recovery from a shoulder injury. Meanwhile, Reed led Texas A&M to wins against Florida in Week 3, Bowling Green in Week 4 and Arkansas in Week 5.
In his two appearances this season, Weigman has completed 23 of 44 yards for 225 passes and two touchdowns, while also throwing two interceptions.
Reed, on the other hand, has completed 43 of 79 passes for 585 yards and six touchdowns. He also rushed for 45 yards and scored one touchdown.
Since Reed has filled in expertly in Weigman's absence, Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz is expecting the former to start for the Aggies in Week 6.
“I mean, at this point, I know on their depth chart, it says the other kid (Reed) is the starting quarterback, but that’s just semantics in my opinion” Drinkwitz said on Tuesday. “The other guy’s 3-0 as the starter, and whether he’s listed as questionable or whatever, I don’t see them going back.”
“They cleary have a different offensive identity when this guy is their quarterback and they’ve built an offense that fits around his system.”
