Texas A&M QB Max Johnson will reportedly be sidelined for the foreseeable future, potentially missing the rest of the 2022 season.

Ian Fitzsimmons of ESPN Radio reports that Johnson is dealing with a broken bone in his throwing hand. Billy Liucci of TexAgs chimed in, adding that former starter Haynes King will get the nod in Tuscaloosa for Saturday’s game at No. 1 Alabama. Liucci adds that true freshman Conner Weigman could also see playing time.

Johnson left in the 4th quarter of Texas A&M’s 42-24 loss at Mississippi State in Week 5 after going 19-of-26 passing for 203 yards and a touchdown. In relief, King was 6-of-13 for 49 yards, throwing 2 interceptions.

King won the starting job in fall camp. Jimbo Fisher made the switch to Johnson for Texas A&M’s Week 3 game against Miami.

In his 3 appearances in the 2022 season, King is 39-of-64 for 510 yards passing with 3 touchdowns and 4 INTs. Johnson, an LSU transfer, was 43-of-71 for 517 yards and 3 TDs with no picks in 4 games as a junior.
