One location for all four injury report as the Horns prepare to face the Bulldogs in Austin.
AUSTIN, Texas — With the SEC mandating NFL-style injury reports on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings in addition to 90 minutes before kickoff, the inaugural conference opener for the No. 1 Texas Longhorns against the Mississippi State Bulldogs takes on some other new storylines.
Injuries at the running back position remain a headline story for the Longhorns with four running backs listed as out as of Friday morning with head coach Steve Sarkisian set to make an announcement about whether redshirt junior quarterback Quinn Ewers will make his return from his oblique strain after missing one game.
On Monday, Sarkisian had addressed the newly-instituted reports.
“The report, I think it’s a good thing. Really so that everyone’s clear of why we do this report, it’s so that we can minimize the leaks in all of our buildings,” Sarkisian said.
From a gambling perspective, everybody wants to know the truth, right? For everybody that’s trying to figure out who’s playing and who’s not, and then everybody wants to call, student trainers and student managers of who practiced, who didn’t, and all these things. So at the end of the day, if that minimizes them having to talk to people, all right, I’d just give the report.”
