Overview

• Head coach Hugh Freeze said Wednesday that Fields broke his foot in Tuesday’s practice and will undergo surgery Thursday.
• Freeze declined to provide a return timeline and called the loss significant, noting this type of injury often keeps players out long term.
• Sophomore Perry Thompson will take over at receiver, with true freshman Sam Turner available as another option.
• Fields, a Wake Forest transfer, is Auburn’s third-leading receiver with 12 catches for 106 yards and one touchdown through four games.
• Auburn (3-1) visits Texas A&M on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN in its first game without Fields.
