Yes, yes, yes. Let’s hope he has a speedy recovery. Now, with that out of the way, we can move on.
According to 247Sports.com, and citing unnamed sources, Texas A&M wide receiver Speedy Noil sustained an injury to the MCL in his left knee during the win over Rice Saturday. Because of the injury, Noil will miss 3-5 weeks.
At the short end of the prognosis, Noil would miss games against SMU (Sept. 20), Arkansas (Sept. 27) and Mississippi State (Oct. 4). Also in jeopardy for Noil are matchups with Ole Miss (Oct. 11) and Alabama (Oct. 18).
Head coach Kevin Sumlin would only state that Noil likely won’t play this weekend. He also took to task the report of Noil being out for upwards of a month.
Sumlin declined to elaborate on Noil's status past this weekend, but said any media reports speculating on him are 'wrong.'

Through three games, Noil, a five-star member of A&M’s most recent recruiting class, is third on the team in receptions (12) and second in receiving yards (197). He’s also the team’s leading punt returner -- three returns for 74 yards, with a long of 67 -- and has returned one kickoff for 53.
