Haynes King to miss significant time after suffering broken tibia vs. Colorado
Texas A&M quarterback Haynes King has sustained a broken right leg with a crack at the low part of his tibia bone and will be sidelined for a while head coach Jimbo Fisher announced during Monday’s press conference. Fisher said King has undergone surgery and that the procedure went as well as it could have gone.
The A&M coach declined to offer a prognosis for when King would return.
“I’m not a doctor. When you heal, you heal,” Fisher said.
King was injured on the Aggies’ sixth offensive play of a 10-7 victory over Colorado on Saturday afternoon. He was hurt on a tackle by defensive end Guy Thomas.
A redshirt freshman, King has completed 22-of-35 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions this season.
Zach Calzada takes over the starting quarterback role until King returns. Calzada completed 18-of-38 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown against Colorado.
