Coach Hugh Freeze said the 6-foot-2 senior was injured in practice Tuesday. Fields transferred to Auburn this year after four years at Wake Forest.

"Kind of the leader of that receiver room who knew every position and gave us flexibility to do a lot of things," Freeze said during the SEC coaches conference call Wednesday. "And it's a difficult loss."

Freeze said sophomore Perry Thompson is the next man up and will get a chance to fill Fields' role when the Tigers (3-1, 0-1 SEC) play at No. 9 Texas A&M (3-0, 0-0) on Saturday.

Fields ranks third on the team with 12 receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown this season.
