Texas A&M fans were dismayed when they saw Mario Craver's name pop up on the injury report on Wednesday night. Then, on Thursday night, the second report also raised some concern for Texas A&M, continuing to display that Mario Craver was questionable.
Craver is coming off a lower-body injury from the Missouri game. He came back into the game, prompting that concern to be somewhat alleviated, but now, he's questionable. It seems he doesn't have much concern for the future, and this could be the medical team playing it safe.
A major update surfaced today on the status of Craver, and it looks like the Aggie faithful will be holding their breaths right up until kickoff here.

This isn't necessarily better news from what we heard yesterday, and it just adds more question marks to the South Carolina game.
Craver and KC Concepcion have been arguably the best WR duo in college football this season, with Craver going for 46 receptions, 775 yards and four receiving touchdowns. He also has one rushing touchdown on the season.
If anything, it's better to have Craver rest tomorrow to make sure he's 100% heading into Austin, a potential SEC Championship Game appearance, and a near-certain College Football Playoff berth. The offensive line has been remarkable this year, giving Marcel Reed a chance to throw to Craver so many times this season.
As long as Terry Bussey and Ashton Bethel-Roman step up to the plate, the offense is going to be OK. All we're hoping for is a safe recovery from Craver to be able to get back in time for more important football. If he plays, great. If not, play it safe until the Texas game and eventually the playoffs.
