Texas A&M<\/a> linebacker Daymion Sanford<\/a> was carted off the field late in the first half of the Aggies\u2019 spring game on Saturday afternoon, according to Aggie Yell\u2019s Carter Karels<\/a>. The injury appeared to be to his lower body and occurred with 1:46 left in the second quarter, but it prompted an early halftime.<\/p>\n

No team ever wants to see an injury happen during their spring game, and the Aggies will hope the initial diagnosis isn\u2019t as serious as it appeared on the field. The game continued in the second half after the brief intermission. <\/p>\n

\u201cWatched the replay,\u201d Karels wrote<\/a> in a follow-up. \u201cIt looked really bad, and they put a cast around his left foot before carting him off. Prayers up for Daymion Sanford.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is a look at Texas A&M LB Daymion Sanford getting carted off the field. Air splint was on his lower left leg. Was able to get helped onto the cart, but rode it off. <\/p>\n

Sanford had a Maroon Team-high 4 tackles and one QB hurry. <\/p>\n

Sanford is entering his senior season for the Aggies. He\u2019s had an increased role in Texas A&M\u2019s defense since joining the program ahead of the 2023 season. This past season, Sanford logged a career-high 57 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, a pair of pass breakups and an interception.<\/p>\n

In all, he\u2019s logged 94 tackles during his Texas A&M career. Poised for an even stronger senior season, Sanford will hope to make his return to the field sooner rather than later this offseason. For now, everyone will have to wait for his diagnosis before a recovery timeline is provided.<\/p>\n

For the Aggies, they\u2019re set for year three of head coach Mike Elko\u2019s tenure in 2026. Texas A&M is coming off a year where it won each of its first 11 games and made the College Football Playoff. Elko\u2019s group will look to return there once again this season.<\/p>\n

The first stop in that effort is Saturday\u2019s spring game. The Aggies will hope to get through the second half without having to deal with any more injuries.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M will open the season at home on Sept. 5 against Missouri State. Sanford hopes to be available when that date rolls around. <\/p>\n
