Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss received a clean bill of health from head coach Mike Elko and will be ready for Saturday night’s season opener against UTSA.
The senior is returning from a season-ending knee injury sustained last November after he had rushed for 765 yards and 10 touchdowns in 10 games.
“Yeah, Le’Veon’s good to go,” Elko said Tuesday during media availability. “He’s had a really, really strong two weeks and we’re excited to get him back out there and see him perform.”
The No. 19 Aggies have a deep backfield with Rueben Owens II, Amari Daniels and CJ Smith, the son of NFL legend Emmitt Smith.
Moss has rushed for 1,363 yards and 16 touchdowns and has 22 receptions for 233 yards in 25 career games over three seasons in College Station.
