Auburn is thin in the secondary with injuries to Nehemiah Pritchett, Donovan Kaufman and Keionte Scott.
The Auburn Tigers take the field during the first half Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023, in Auburn, Alabama. Auburn received a major blow Monday when head coach Hugh Freeze announced staring cornerback Keionte Scott will miss considerable time following surgery for an apparent right ankle injury.
Scott joins starting linebacker Austin Keys as players dealing with long-term recoveries, but in a practice period open to reporters Tuesday before Auburn’s trip to Texas A&M, most of the remaining names on Auburn’s injury report were able to participate in practice. Cornerback Donovan Kaufman was the only player on Auburn’s injury report with any obvious injury limitation in practice as he wore a yellow non-contact jersey.Pritchett, as has been the case ever since practices before the Cal game, was a full participant in practice. He is still yet to play this season.
Running back Jarquez Hunter was shown on the ESPN broadcast at the medical table having his leg worked on, and he too practiced in full Tuesday.
