Auburn receiver Horatio Fields broke his foot in practice earlier this week and will undergo surgery on Thursday, Tigers coach Hugh Freeze said Wednesday.

Fields was injured during Tuesday's practice.

Freeze didn't put a timeline on Fields' recovery but said it was possible he could miss the rest of the season.

"That's a huge loss for us," Freeze said during the Southeastern Conference coaches call. "He was kind of the leader of that receiver room, who knew every position and gave us flexibility to do a lot of things. A difficult loss."

Fields has 12 catches for 106 yards and one touchdown in four games this season.

An offseason transfer from Wake Forest, Fields had 39 catches for 463 yards and four scores for the Demon Deacons last season.

Auburn (3-1, 0-1 SEC) visits No. 9 Texas A&M (3-0, 0-0) this Saturday.
