Texas A&M football will be down a running back for the year after a weekend scrimmage.
Texas A&M will be without a scholarship running back when the Aggies open the season against Notre Dame on Aug. 31.
Sophomore Rueben Owens, who totaled 494 scrimmage yards for Texas A&M last year, suffered a lower body injury over the weekend and is expected to miss the entire 2024 season. On Sunday night, Carter Karels of Gig 'Em 247 mentioned the impact the injury will have on the Texas A&M backfield for 2024. Without Owens, Texas A&M suddenly has a thin RB group heading into the season. Three scholarship guys in Moss, Smith and Daniels. Will be important for Smith to remain healthy this season. Injuries have been an issue for him in the past, but he played in all 12 games last season.In ten games against FBS competition last year, Owens only averaged four or more yards per carry in one of them. That came against Mississippi State in mid-November.
