Le'Veon Moss's availability has been one of the big storylines during this week for the Texas A&M fanbase, and they were overjoyed when he was announced to make his return for this playoff game in Kyle Field. However, he's not exactly gotten back up to game speed yet, especially against an elite Miami front, and now the worst has happened.
In the late third quarter, Moss came in to pick up some short yardage— something he excels at and something the Aggies have sorely missed over these last few games. A pile up at the end of the play ensued, and Moss emerged from the pile before falling on his back and hopping off the field.
That was the exact last thing Aggie fans wanted to see, as Moss does his best work in the fourth quarter of games. The Ags need him to be at top form for this game, but it looks like— at the very least— he's going to be reduced for the end of this game.
Injury update: Le'Veon Moss goes down in third quarter of Texas A&M football vs. Miami
Moss didn't head right for the injury tent— rather, he hopped over to the bench. The ESPN cameras caught some very visible frustration on his face and in his demeanor as the Aggies attempted to continue on offense without him.
The good news is that it wasn't something that required extended attention while on the field, and Moss was able to make his way off the field unassisted. Of course, that was while hobbling and hopping, so that's not-so-great news— as is the fact that he exited to the locker room on the ensuing defensive series.
If he can go, I'm sure Moss will be back out there. But without being at full bore, and with the fact that he's still getting up to game speed firmly in mind, I'm not sure how many more touches we'll see out of him— and that's a real shame.
