AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn has lost its second center of the season with Tate Johnson having a left elbow injury that will require surgery. Tigers coach Bryan Harsin says Johnson is scheduled for surgery on the elbow Thursday and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks but could be out for the season. Jalil Irvin replaced him after Johnson went down with an injury against Missouri. Avery Jernigan has also worked at center. Johnson had taken over after sixth-year center Nick Brahms retired from football just ahead of the season opener after attempting to return from knee surgery.
