Le’Veon Moss will miss the remainder of Texas A&M’s season after suffering a lower-body injury against South Carolina on Saturday night.
Moss collided with a South Carolina defender near the sidelines in the first half against the Gamecocks this weekend. He was immediately taken into the blue medical tent on A&M’s sideline and was eventually carted off the field.
Elko initially told reporters that Moss’s injury wasn’t as bad as it appeared on the field, but it will still cost him the rest of the 2024 season.

It’s a devastating loss for Texas A&M, who now has very little margin-for-error as it fights for a College Football Playoff berth down the stretch. A&M may need to win out — including a Week 14 clash against Texas — in order to receive a spot in the 12-team field.
Texas A&M will be exceptionally thin at running back moving forward with Moss sidelined. Amari Daniels, who played well in Moss’s absence vs. South Carolina, is expected to receive the bulk of the work. EJ Smith, son of NFL legend Emmitt Smith, is the only other healthy scholarship running back on the team.
It’s unclear at this point if A&M will consider moving a player from a different position to running back for the final stretch run in order to help with the depth at that position. Texas A&M is off in Week 11 and will face New Mexico State in Week 12.
