2 key Texas A&M players will be available vs. Missouri in Week 6

Texas A&M RB Jamarion Morrow and freshman LB Tamarion Watkins were not listed on the latest injury report, and will be available vs. Missouri.

Texas A&M faces No. 14 Missouri in their second consecutive season matchup, after a 38-17 victory last year. Missouri's dominance was evident in their 45-17 home win over Florida, while the Aggies bounced back by defeating Arkansas 34-7. Although not listed on the injury report, sophomore running back Jamarion Morrow missed the Arkansas game, along with wide receiver Mario Craver, who left the Saturday game with a lower-body injury and was listed as questionable.

Morrow, along with freshman linebacker Tamarion Watkins, who was ranked as the highest-rated freshman linebacker, did not play against Arkansas. Coach Mike Elko decided to wait for Morrow to be fully healthy before allowing him back on the field. Seven Missouri players are listed as out or questionable for Saturday's game, with star tackle Cayden Green among them.

For Texas A&M to upset Missouri, their secondary will need to provide an exceptional performance to prevent Missouri QB Austin Simmons from throwing explosive plays. The run game will also need to average at least five yards per carry to facilitate play-action opportunities for QB Marcel Reed.
