Texas A&M wide receiver Mario Craver and defensive lineman DJ Hicks are expected to be available for Saturday’s matchup against Alabama after both players were listed as probable on the SEC’s availability report Friday, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Craver and Hicks are expected to return after missing last week’s 41-0 win over The Citadel. The Aggies improved to 4-3 with that win and will travel to Bryant-Denny Stadium seeking their first road victory of the season.
Craver leads Texas A&M with 24 receptions for 241 yards and two touchdowns across six games this season. The Birmingham, Alabama, native earned First Team Preseason All-SEC recognition but has dealt with injuries throughout the campaign. He has not recorded multiple catches in a game since September 26 and has surpassed 100 receiving yards only once this season.

Hicks, meanwhile, has appeared in six games this season, accumulating 12 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and half a sack. The Katy, Texas, native entered his senior campaign after receiving Third Team Preseason All-SEC honors.
Texas A&M linebacker Daymion Sanford and offensive lineman Trovon Baugh were also upgraded to probable, giving all four players a 75% chance of playing under SEC availability guidelines. Defensive end Anto Saka remains questionable, while wide receivers Terry Bussey and Kelshaun Johnson and offensive lineman Blake Ivy are unavailable.
The Crimson Tide have three players listed as doubtful including defensive back Zabien Brown, running back EJ Crowell and offensive lineman Racin Delgatty.
Saturday’s game versus the 5-2 Alabama is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET, with television coverage on ABC.
