re: Update: A&M starting QB Conner Weigman out for the season

COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman’s lower leg injury is worse than previously thought, according to multiple program insiders.
Weigman might miss the rest of the season after further tests revealed a more extensive injury than a bad sprain. A&M coach Jimbo Fisher on Monday had described Weigman as “day to day” with an ankle injury suffered late in the first half of A&M’s 27-10 victory over Auburn last Saturday in the teams’ Southeastern Conference opener.
Fellow sophomore Max Johnson replaced Weigman in the second half and threw two touchdown passes to open up the game. The Aggies (3-1) face Arkansas (2-2) at 11 a.m. Saturday in Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, and Johnson is scheduled to make his first start of the season.
Johnson started at LSU two years ago before transferring to A&M prior to last season. Weigman, who beat out Johnson for the starting job in August camp, played in four games this season and could redshirt if he doesn’t play again this year, if he so desired. Weigman, 20, might be a high-round selection in the 2025 NFL draft, when he is first eligible for the draft.
Weigman is a former five-star prospect out of Bridgeland High in the class of 2022 who was one of the SEC’s top quarterbacks a fourth of the way into this season and prior to his injury..
