Weston Eget - Doesn't travel due to knee injury Eget didn't make the trip for Saturday's game against San Diego State due to a knee injury, Jason Groves of the Las Cruces Sun-News reports.

Impact Eget split some reps under center in the opener versus UTEP but managed to complete just one of his nine pass attempts for seven yards while rushing three times for another 13 yards. Jonah Johnson hasn't fared that much better for the Aggies, so Eget could have a chance to move back into the competition if he can get healthy soon.

Impact Garcia-Castaneda was targeted eight times in the season opener but was unable to follow that up last week. While he will reportedly clear COVID protocol by Friday, it doesn't sound like he will play due to his absence from practice the last two weeks. A return Sept. 18 versus South Carolina State seems more likely.
