Texas A&M just took another huge hit on the receiver injury front, as star receiver Mario Craver has exited the game against LSU with an apparent leg injury. Craver did yeoman's work for the Aggies on their only really successful drive of the night, getting a lot of tough yardage after the catch, but it may have cost him.
Craver was in all the way up to a 2nd and goal for Marcel Reed and company, but after being targeted on a pass that ended up looking like a miscommunication, he headed to the sideline. He wasn't in for the 3rd and goal, and then moments later, he was seen leaving the game for the Aggies.
Losing Craver would be a debilitating blow for Texas A&M. He left briefly against Kentucky last week, but eventually returned and made a few more plays for the Aggie offense. Hopefully, whatever he's facing here will be minor and he can make it back in the game.
Mario Craver leaves Texas A&M's game vs. LSU with injury
Craver is the key point for this offense so far tonight when it comes to the passing game. He's also taken a handoff on a jet sweep and picked up decent yardage thanks to his speed— that aspect of his game is so deadly for opponents, and he has shown time and time again why it matter so much for A&M to have him out there.
The Aggies badly need for Craver to be available and back in this game sooner rather than later. No. 1 on Texas A&M's offense is maybe the only part of this passing game that is going to work, given what we've seen so far, and so the Aggies need him to get back out there as soon as possible.
In the interim, Texas A&M will have to turn to Ashton Bethel-Roman, Kelshaun Johnson, and TK Norman in Craver's spot. The Aggies have a deep room, but with two starters potentially out after Craver's exit, they are in a very tough spot.
As soon as an update is provided, this article will reflect that.
Update: Mario Craver is back in the game on the following offensive series right before half.
