Texas A&M and Alabama will enter Saturday’s game with major question marks at the quarterback position. 

Aggies quarterback Max Johnson, who took over for Haynes King in Week 3, has a broken bone in his throwing hand and could miss the rest of the season, according to ESPN Radio.

The injury occurred during Texas A&M’s loss to Mississippi State in Week 5, and Johnson was replaced by King in the fourth quarter.

Johnson was 19-for-26 for 203 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game. King was 6 of 13 with two interceptions in the fourth quarter, though he did find his way into the end zone on the ground. 

On Monday, Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher praised King for his play when called on to fill in for Johnson.

"Haynes came and led us straight down, made a great drive" Fisher said, according to 247 Sports. "His decision-making was good. Unfortunately, he had a couple of breaks where the ball tipped the wrong way, but he was doing the right thing. He came in and led well and took us to two touchdown drives, as a matter of fact."

Fisher said King and freshman quarterback Connor Weigman will both be ready to play Saturday.
