Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman makes a game-time decision before showdown with Missouri

Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman makes a game-time decision before showdown with Missouri

Texas A&M redshirt sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman is a game-time decision before the No. 25 Aggies' 11 a.m. match with No. 9 Missouri at Kyle Field, according to the SEC's student-athlete availability report . Weigman, who has missed the last three games with an AC sprain in his throwing shoulder, was listed as questionable this week.

According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, Weigman's shoulder condition is improving and he should be well enough to strip down and warm up before kickoff. Thamel said the Cypress product has had significant success in practice after not playing in A&M's last two games against Bowling Green and Arkansas.

Thamel reported that redshirt freshman QB Marcel Reed remains the Aggies' expected starter, but there's a chance Weigman could play if he feels 100%.

About 45 minutes before kickoff at Kyle Field, Weigman was dressed and on the field warming up.
