Texas A&M fans have a reason to celebrate as they scored a huge touchdown to go in front of the top-10 Tennessee Volunteers, but a pall was cast with an injury to one of their best remaining receivers. Sophomore TK Norman, who has had an increasing role thanks to the receiver injuries on the team, was down on the play and was very ginger when he got back up.
Norman has made several huge catches for this team in his time in the lineup, and consistently catches the eye of Aggie fans whenever the ball is in his hands. Especially with the way this season has evolved with regard to receiver health for A&M, this is really concerning.
Norman was able to walk off the field but he had to be assisted, and he was very careful as he was heading to the sideline. That’s bad news for the Aggies if he is out for any stretch of time, as they are already without several pass-catchers.
TK Norman leaves Texas A&M’s game against Tennessee with injury
Texas A&M came into this game with Mario Craver listed as questionable. He’s been out there and playing for the Aggies, including a huge third-down conversion on a screen, but things are pretty dire behind him. Isaiah Horton is another starter that is available, but he hasn’t made much of an impact in this game so far.
The Aggies are down Terry Bussey, who was lost for the season against Kentucky, and Ashton Bethel-Roman has been out for the last few games. Kelshaun Johnson is also missing this game with an injury, as he did the game against South Carolina.
Texas A&M needs the pass game to be better than it has been, full stop. But the health of the receiver room has been a real storyline this season— it’s no excuse, but it’s just one thing after another with this group. Hopefully, TK will be able to return to this game soon.
This story will be updated with more on Norman’s status as it becomes available.
Update: Norman is headed to the locker room, but he was able to get there under his own power.
