Texas A&M — Terry Bussey is out for the season. Coach Mike Elko confirmed Monday that wide receiver and return specialist Terry Bussey will miss the remainder of 2026 with the lower-body injury suffered on the opening kickoff against Kentucky. Bussey entered that game second on the Aggies with 92 receiving yards and was handling both kickoff and punt returns. The loss is especially damaging with starting receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman already injured.
LSU — two more players lost for the season, with another key offensive weapon sidelined. Starting defensive back Dashawn Spears suffered a torn ACL against Ole Miss and is out for the year. Lane Kiffin described Spears as an integral part of LSU’s defensive success because of his versatility. Wide receiver Phillip Wright III will also undergo season-ending treatment after being injured against Louisiana Tech.
LSU also will be without star tight end Trey’Dez Green for multiple games after his knee injury at Ole Miss. The encouraging news is that the MRI showed no torn ligaments and surgery is not expected. Green already has 14 catches for 222 yards this season, so even a temporary absence matters significantly as No. 10 LSU prepares to face No. 23 Texas A&M.
