Tamarcus Cooley and Ja’Keem Jackson were both upgraded following their initial listings on the first report on Wednesday evening. Cooley has been completely removed following his questionable tag yesterday. That’s massive, considering he seems to be the replacement in the STAR position for Dashawn Spears. With Spears out for the year, Cooley is probably the most suited to replace him, while Jhase Thomas takes Cooley’s spot.LSUQuestionable#8 Ja’Keem JacksonListed as doubtful on Wednesday, Jackson has been upgraded to questionable, which is great news for the depth of Blake Baker’s secondary.Out#7 Trey’Dez Green#10 Dashawn Spears#15 Phillip Wright IIIThere aren’t any surprises here. Lane Kiffin confirmed on Monday that Wright is out for the season after getting injured in the LA Tech game. The injuries of Green and Spears have been well-documented. Spears is, unfortunately, done for the year with a torn ACL, while Green seemingly got lucky and suffered a sprain that doesn’t require surgery. He’ll be out a few weeks, but should return later in the season.Texas A&MQuestionable#2 Jamarion Morrow#8 Ashton Bethel-RomanMorrow is listed as the #2 running back, but Bethel-Roman is the guy to watch. He’s battled injuries through the first few games and despite only recording 2 receptions, so far, he can become an extremely important part of the Texas A&M offense. Whether that begins this week or not is still up in the air.Out#6 Terry BusseyThis one stings for the Aggies. Although his stats haven’t jumped off of the page, he’s a former 5-star with tons of potential on the way. He had a really good offseason and fall camp and was looking to finally get going and display his immense talent. His skillset was one of a kind for Texas A&M, being able to line up outside at receiver or even in the backfield to take a hand off.
