No. 19 Texas A&M will host the Auburn Tigers on Saturday afternoon, just two weeks after their impressive victory over Notre Dame in South Bend. That win is still considered one of the best of the season, and if the Aggies continue to rack up wins, it will significantly enhance their College Football Playoff resume.

Late last week, head coach Mike Elko provided updates on the status of three key players. Safety Bryce Anderson, who dodged a serious injury against Notre Dame, senior linebacker Scooby Williams, who sustained an ankle injury in the same game, and senior offensive tackle Reuben Fatheree, who has yet to play this season, are all progressing toward returning to the field.

On Wednesday, three days before Texas A&M kicks off Week 5 against Auburn, the initial injury report for both teams was released. As expected, Bryce Anderson is listed as out for the game. Scooby Williams is marked as questionable, indicating about a 50% chance he will suit up. With two days remaining until kickoff, Williams will have additional time to test his ankle in hopes of playing.

Reuben Fatheree, meanwhile, will be available for the game as he was not listed on the injury report. This aligns with Coach Elko’s earlier comments that the versatile offensive lineman has made significant progress in his recovery.

For the Auburn Tigers, wide receiver Horatio Fields is out after breaking his foot earlier this week. Offensive lineman Connor Lew and defensive end Amaris Williams are both listed as questionable. Starting cornerback Jay Crawford, who is also recovering from an injury, has been upgraded to probable, giving him roughly a 75% chance to play on Saturday.

Stay tuned as both teams finalize their lineups ahead of what promises to be an exciting matchup.
