Texas A&M may have caught a break ahead of Saturday’s meeting with LSU. Trey’Dez Green, one of the Tigers’ most dangerous offensive pieces, appears set to miss the game after getting hurt against Ole Miss.
Green was helped off the field after taking a heavy shot from an Ole Miss safety and never returned. The hit immediately raised concern, but the bigger question quickly shifted from what happened in the moment to how long he might be out.
His mother later offered the clearest update, saying he avoided ligament damage but would “miss some games” because of “sprains and bruises.” That puts his status for this weekend against the Aggies in serious doubt.
The absence would matter. Green is a long, versatile tight end who can create problems as both a blocker and a receiver, and in Lane Kiffin’s offense he becomes even tougher to handle. He was shaping up to be one of the first LSU names Texas A&M had to account for.
There is still no official team report confirming the injury timeline, but it’s hard to ignore the direction this is heading. Barring a fast turnaround that seems unlikely right now, Green does not look ready to go against the Aggies.
That’s welcome news for Texas A&M, which is trying to recover after an ugly home loss to Kentucky. The Aggies also have injury concerns of their own, with KJ Edwards and Terry Bussey going down against the Wildcats and Jamarion Morrow and Ashton Bethel-Roman missing that game because of injury.
So while LSU may be dealing with a key absence, A&M is hardly walking in healthy. Still, losing Green would tilt things a bit in the Aggies’ favor, and right now they’ll take any edge they can get.

Texas A&M Suddenly Has Two Problems Fans Cant Ignore
Texas A&Ms SEC opener in Lexington brought a reality check, and it came in a game the Aggies were expected to handle. Kentucky controlled enough of the evening to hand A&M a 31-21 loss, leaving the group with immediate questions on both sides of the ball after entering the matchup as the favorite.
Mario Craver and KJ Edwards provided some encouraging signs on offense, but Marcel Reeds interceptions and a defense that surrendered too much yardage and too many points, especially in the third quarter, stood out for all the wrong reasons. For an Aggies team that needed a clean start to conference play, the loss was more than just a setback because it exposed problems that cannot be brushed aside. [Read more 🡒]
Texas A&M Suddenly Has A Mike Elko Problem Before LSU
Texas A&Ms trip to the top 10 came apart quickly on Saturday night, when the Aggies lost 31-21 at home to unranked Kentucky. It was the worst defeat so far in Mike Elkos tenure, and it came with the kind of defensive letdown that makes a ranking drop feel inevitable. Kentucky piled up 408 yards, and the Aggies slid from No. 8 to No. 20 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll.
Now the attention turns to LSU, and the timing could hardly be less forgiving for Elkos team. A home loss like this raises obvious questions about consistency and resilience, especially with a rivalry game next on the schedule. Texas A&M still has plenty of season left to repair the damage, but the margin for error suddenly looks a lot thinner than it did a week ago. [Read more 🡒]
Terry Bussey News Leaves Texas A&M With A Huge Offensive Problem
Terry Busseys season is over, and Texas A&M is now dealing with a problem that goes well beyond simply replacing one receiver. Mike Elko confirmed in a press conference that Bussey will miss the rest of the year after suffering a lower body injury in the Kentucky game, taking away one of the Aggies more important offensive pieces and a regular presence on kickoff returns.
For a team trying to keep its passing game moving, the timing stings. Texas A&M does have other receivers available, but Busseys versatility made him difficult to replace in one spot, let alone all the ways the Aggies used him. The next few games will show how much the offense can absorb before his absence starts to reshape the whole rotation. [Read more 🡒]
