Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman listed as questionable for game against Florida

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – Texas A&M sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman was listed as questionable on the Aggies' mandatory injury report Thursday ahead of Saturday's game at Florida.

According to the Southeastern Conference definition, “questionable” means either that it is not certain whether the player will play due to injury or illness, or that there is a 50% chance that a player will play.

Weigman played in A&M's first two games of the season and was brought into the team following A&M's blowout win over McNeese on Saturday after scoring a touchdown on each of A&M's first five drives.

Redshirt freshman Marcel Reed backed up Weigman in Saturday's game, completing 5 of 11 passes for 71 yards and rushing for 43 yards on seven carries.

He missed most of last season due to a broken foot sustained in the fourth game of the season.

In addition to Weigman, the Aggies' injury list also includes defensive backs Tyreek Chappell and Trey Jones III, who are both listed as out.

On Wednesday, the first day A&M had to report its participation for the weekend, only three players were listed. Running back Rueben Owens and center Mark Nabou Jr. were listed as out after suffering season-ending leg injuries earlier in the season. Linebacker Scooby Williams was listed as questionable.

Williams missed the game against McNeese due to an unspecified injury, but Elko said he was absent as a precautionary measure.

The SEC's mandatory reporting requirement, similar to the NFL's, was implemented earlier this season. Programs are required to provide a list of players on each of the three days before the game, labeled “available,” “probable,” “questionable” or “doubtful.” On game day, a final list of participants is released 90 minutes before kickoff, labeling players as available, “game-time decision” or “out.”

Programs that violate the policy due to inaccurate or late reporting may be subject to a fine of between $25,000 and $100,000.
