Texas A&M's initial injury report has come out for the Tennessee game, and there are no huge surprises for the Aggies on it this week. WR Terry Bussey, WR Kelshaun Johnson, and OL Blake Ivy are all listed as out, OL Trovon Baugh is listed as doubtful, and WR Mario Craver is listed as questionable.

The Volunteers have a longer list of players who are out for this game, totaling seven. The biggest name, of course, is DL Tyree Weathersby, the leader in sacks for Tennessee, who was reported earlier in the week to have sustained a season-ending injury last Saturday.

It will be interesting to follow this over the next couple of days and see if any more players pop up on these reports for either side, of course. Last week, Ashton Bethel-Roman didn't make an appearance on the report until Thursday night, and by Friday, he was listed as out—he's off of the report so far this week, though.

The Aggies desperately need Mario Craver to be ready to go for this one, however. The main pathway for the Ags to get a win in this game is going to be on the ground rather than through the air, but Craver is one of the best threats the Aggies have to get open against this stifling Tennessee secondary when they need to throw.

No. 1 in the maroon and white has been battling through an injury for weeks now, dating all the way back to the Kentucky game when he first got nicked up. He's been a real soldier, but you can tell that it has hampered him in a big way since that point, further hindering what has been a difficult-to-jumpstart passing attack.

Craver has been an important part of the screen game, too, which usually serves as an extension of the run game. He has caught the most screen passes of any Aggie receiver, and you can bet that, when Texas A&M goes to the air, screens will be a significant part of what they are doing against this Tennessee defense.

Trovon Baugh missing time isn't a surprise, as Sam Roseborough has been in the game more and more since the contest at Missouri while Baugh fights through a nagging injury. Roseborough has been a good player for the Aggies on the interior of the offensive line in the snaps he's given them, and helps set a bright future for the program at that spot.

He'll have a tough task in this game, though, against a ferocious front for the Volunteers. The Aggies have some real road graders up front, but pass protection has been an issue for A&M all year, and it will continue to be so against a Tennessee defense that currently leads the nation in sack rate.

We'll continue to track how this injury report develops for both the Aggies and the Volunteers going forward. Hopefully, Craver will be ready to go for this one and A&M doesn't see any unexpected names pop up on this list.
