Texas A&M QB Max Johnson leaves game with thumb injury

When it rains, it pours, and it's pouring on Texas A&M's offense. 

Junior quarterback Max Johnson left in the fourth quarter Saturday against Mississppi State with a thumb injury. His status is questionable for the remainder of the game. 

On a second-and-9 play, Johnson connected with running back Devon Achane for a gain of 7, but was drilled by Missisppi State's defense behind the line of scrimmage. He would leave the field and head to the medical tent. 

Johnson was seen throwing on the sideline for several plays, but eventually went back into the medical tent for further evaulation. Redshirt sophomore Haynes King would enter the game in Johnson's place. 

King, the inital 2022 starter, scored on a 4-yard touchdown run to make 28-17 with just over seven minutes remaining in the game. For the drive, King completed two passes for a gain of 6.
