Mike Elko updates on Tamarion Watkins injury status after Arkansas game

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko provided a positive injury update on freshman linebacker Tamarion Watkins. After missing the Aggies’ 34-7 win over Arkansas, Elko stated Watkins “should be fine,” although he did not specify if Watkins would return for the upcoming road game against Missouri. The linebacker was added to the SEC availability report as out before the Arkansas game but is not expected to have a long-term injury. Watkins has participated in four games this season, achieving notable performance metrics, and his presence could enhance Texas A&M's linebacker rotation as they prepare for a matchup against No. 25 Missouri on Saturday.
