The Texas A&M Aggies were hit with an unfortunate injury on the first play of Saturday's home game against the Kentucky Wildcats at Kyle Field.

Texas A&M wide receiver Terry Bussey had to be carted off after getting injured on the opening kickoff.

Bussey appeared to fumble the ball as he went down awkwardly, but his knee was down before the ball came out.

Texas A&M retained possession, but all of the concern remained on Bussey as he exited the field on the cart. Fans will have to wait for an update from Mike Elko after the game to hear the full extent of Bussey's injury.

UPDATE: Bussey returned to the Texas A&M sidelines during the second half in street clothes and was walking under his own power.

This now adds to a list of injuries that Texas A&M has had to deal with at the wide receiver position to begin the season.

Texas A&M wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman was already ruled out prior to kickoff after being doubtful on Friday's injury report.

Additionally, the Aggies are without freshman wideout Madden Williams for the entire season after he suffered an injury at the end of fall camp.

Texas A&M fans had been waiting for a breakout from Bussey headed into this season, and he certainly showed positive strides during the team's first two games. Headed into the SEC opener against Kentucky, Bussey had seven catches for 92 yards along with four carries for 10 yards and a touchdown.

Holmon Wiggins Had Big Plans for Terry Bussey

New Texas A&M offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins talked about Bussey's role during fall camp, saying he wanted to use him in "a bunch of different capacities."

It remains to be seen how much time Bussey will miss, but if his injury ends up forcing him to sit out the rest of the season, it will mark the end of any plans Wiggins had for him on the 2026 roster.

“Of course, a lot of people have recognized Terry Bussey just in the facet of him kind of having time on job,” Wiggins said. “Us using him in a bunch of different capacities. He's a smart, tough, unselfish, dependable player that we can line up in a few different spots.”

Bussey had 18 catches for 195 yards and one touchdown last season. He had two rushing touchdowns during his freshman year in 2024.
