Mississippi State football host #14 Texas A&M in Starkville today with a chance at a huge win in Jeff Lebby's debut season. What's the status of some key Bulldogs ahead of today's game?

Kalvin Dinkins and Kedrick Bingley-Jones remain out for Mississippi State

Defensive line depth has been a problem for Mississippi State all season, and that won't change against Texas A&M. Kalvin Dinkins is once again unavailable for the Bulldogs, and at this point, we have to seriously ask if he's going to play again for State this season. Fellow DT Kedrick Bingley-Jones will also be out on Saturday despite a slight chance at his return earlier in the week. State stays thin along the defensive interior.

Brylan Lanier and Tyler Woodard look to be available vs Texas A&M

CB/S Brylan Lanier and safety Tyler Woodard were both questionable earlier in the week, but neither is listed on the most recent injury report. Lanier claimed in a swiftly-deleted social media post that he had suffered a concussion against Georgia, leading to his controversial TD-allowed in Athens, but it appears he'll be good to go vs Texas A&M. Woodard also appears set to return to action, giving State more depth in the secondary.

No change for other Bulldogs

Elsewhere on the depth chart, there's no change for the Bulldogs. Obviously QB Blake Shapen and WR Creed Whittemore are done for the year for different reasons. WR Trent Hudson, CB Traveon Wright, and RB Keyvone Lee all remain out.

Aggies getting starting center back vs Mississippi State

Texas A&M has battled injuries along the OL this year, but they will have starting center TJ Shanahan back in the lineup on Saturday. Freshman WR Terry Bussey is probable to play against Mississippi State. He's coming off a breakout performance vs Mizzou when he caught three passes for 76 yards. Those are the lone recent names of interest for the Aggies.
