College Football Senior Citizen Author for ESPN. Expert for College Gameday.Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman’s injured shoulder is enhancing and he’s healthy enough where he’s anticipated to dress and be readily available for the game against No. 9 Missouri on Saturday, sources told ESPN.After not dressing versus last week versus Arkansas and not playing because Sept. 7, Weigman has actually taken significant reps and improved enough where he’ll be back in uniform for the Aggies, per sources.The choice whether to start Weigman or Marcel Reed is a game-time one, per sources. Reed looms as the expected starter for the fourth-straight game, per sources, but sources warned that if Weigman is feeling 100 percent there’s a chance that he could resume his starting role.Weigman’s involvement has actually increased in practice today after not dressing out recently versus Arkansas, as he was

unclear to play. With his activity in practice ramping up and with him readily available on Saturday, a compelling decision at the quarterback position will ultimately loom for the Texas A&M coaching personnel in the near future.Weigman plainly earned the job out of camp as A&M’s best quarterback, which will factor into the personnel’s upcoming decision, according to sources. Reed played at a high level

in the Florida game, but has been solid however unspectacular in the past two games.Texas A&M got just 297 overall backyards versus Arkansas, as Reed went 11-for-22 and got just 13 yards hurrying on 10 brings.( He took 3 sacks, contributing to that low overall.)Reed ran for 91 yards against Bowling Green, but finished just 16-for-29 passing.That can be found in the wake of an efficient efficiency against Florida, as Reed rushed for 83 yards and completed 11-of-17 passes. A&M completed that game with 488 yards on offense.The Texas A&M pass game has been prevented by a pedestrian receiving corps, as Cyrus

Allen is the team’s leading receiver with 11 catches for 203 yards. In General, Texas A&M’s passing offense is No. 117 in the country and last in the SEC with 162 backyards per game.Weigman has actually been out given that the 2nd week of the season, as he hurt his AC joint in his tossing shoulder in the season-opening loss to Notre Dame. He then exacerbated that injury in Week 2 against McNeese and has missed the 3 subsequent games.
