The Texas A&M football team finished Thursday with a two-hour workout in full pads at the grass practice facility adjacent to Kyle Field. The squad went through a weight workout and a walk thru earlier in the day.
Returning to the workout was junior offensive lineman Tango McCauley (sprained ankle) and sophomore tight end Michael de la Torre (tightness in back).
Missing Thursday's late practice included senior safety Michael Jameson (bruised Achilles tendon), sophomore defensive lineman Ty Warren (sprained ankle) and junior defensive lineman Evan Perroni (bruised right eye). All are listed day-to-day.
The Aggies, ranked #24 in the USA Today/ESPN poll, will open the season on Sept. 2 against the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, in a game which will be nationally televised at 12 noon central on NBC Sports.
