Texas A&M enters season opener against Missouri State with no new injuries

Texas A&M hosts Missouri State on Saturday, September 5, at 6:00 p.m. in the season opener for the Aggies. Coach Mike Elko confirmed that the team enters the contest without any new injury concerns following the preseason. Senior linebacker Daymion Sanford is expected to play despite recovering from a lower-body injury suffered during the team's spring game. While Sanford remains officially listed as a game-time decision, Elko anticipates he will be available for the matchup. The team will be without running back Tiger Riden and defensive tackle Chace Sims for the season, as both players are sidelined with injuries. Wide receiver Jerome Myles and offensive lineman Nelson McGuire have also departed the program. The game will be broadcast on ESPN as the Aggies begin their campaign under the nine-game Southeastern Conference schedule.
