Texas A&M's key question focuses on linebacker Daymion Sanford's recovery
Summary

Texas A&M held its first preseason practice in preparation for the 2026 season, which opens against Missouri State in four weeks. The team's focus is on the availability of senior linebacker Daymion Sanford, who is recovering from a serious lower-body injury he sustained during the Maroon & White Game. Coach Mike Elko indicated that Sanford is on track to participate in fall camp, though he will likely be on a snap count to manage his reintegration. Sanford's experience is critical for the Aggies' defensive strategy, and further updates on his status are anticipated as camp progresses.
