On Nov. 5, Texas A&M starting quarterback Trevor Knight went out in the first half with an injured shoulder in an upset loss at Mississippi State.

A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin broke from his normal routine the next week of not addressing injuries when he said Knight would be out for at least the remainder of the regular season and possibly the Aggies’ bowl game.

However, according to multiple sources, Knight will start the No. 22 Aggies’ final regular season game against LSU on Thursday evening.

Earlier in the week, the senior graduate transfer stated that he would like to play if he was cleared by doctors to do so. Apparently, that was what happened.

Junior Jake Hubenak, who started the two games in Knight’s absence, played last week with an injured shoulder and, per sources, is out for the Thanksgiving game against the Tigers.

A&M has true freshman Nick Starkel, who the Aggies are hoping to redshirt, and former walk-on Conner McQueen as potential replacements should Knight re-aggravate the injury.

Starting wide receiver Speedy Noil, a high school quarterback at New Orleans Edna Karr, received reps under center this week as well as a possible emergency replacement.

Knight’s running ability opened up the Aggie offense early in the season in helping the team to a onetime No. 4 ranking in the College Football Playoff. On the year, he has thrown for 1,911 yards and 13 touchdowns. He is also the team’s No. 2 rusher with 583 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground.

A&M (8-3 overall, 4-3 in SEC) and LSU (6-4 overall, 4-3 in SEC) kick off at 6:30 p.m. Central on Thursday. The game will air on ESPN.
