On Monday, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko spoke to the media for the first time this week, as the Aggies will take on No. 19 Missouri on Saturday afternoon in Columbia for the third consecutive road game, looking to stay undefeated and continue pushing for a spot in the SEC Championship Game and the College Football Playoff.

During the last two wins against Arkansas and LSU, Texas A&M has been without star running back Le’Veon Moss, who suffered an ankle injury during the Aggies’ 34-17 victory over Florida, and has since been riding a scooter to accelerate the healing process to return during one of the final four regular-season games, potentially.

While the Aggie run game has continued to produce in his absence, Moss is an NFL-level back who makes the offense an elite, balanced unit—despite his torn MCL and ACL last season, which virtually ended the Aggies’ 2024 season. For the first time in over two weeks, Elko provided a brief update regarding Moss’s progress and likely return date.

“The timeline is still exactly what we anticipated. It’s still too early to tell if that’s going to move or not. The opportunity is there to get him back before the end of the regular season.”

This is great news, knowing that Moss could return against either South Carolina or Samford at home. Still, right now, I would guess that he will make his way back to the field during the season finale against the Texas Longhorns, especially if Texas A&M heads to Austin (TX) 10-1 or 11-0 with a College Football Playoff berth locked up.
