The Longhorns starter suffered a mild ankle sprain in last weekend’s win over the Wildcats.
Other than the four Texas Longhorns players who previously suffered season-ending injuries, the only player on the Wednesday injury report released by the Horns is redshirt junior starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, who is listed as probable.
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian was not able to provide much of an update on Ewers during his Monday press conference because the Longhorns were scheduled to practice during the afternoon instead of the morning.
Ewers suffered a mild ankle sprain in Saturday’s 31-14 win over Kentucky when a defender used a hip-drop tackle on Ewers at the end of a scramble in the second quarter.
Sarkisian said that the ankle kept tightening up on Ewers after he received attention in the medical tent following a five-yard touchdown run by junior Jaydon Blue.
Ewers himself called the injury “a little bit tender” in his post-game interview with the media. On Sunday, after Ewers underwent a cautionary MRI that did not reveal any structural damage, Anwar Richardson of Orangebloods reported that the ankle injury sustained by Ewers is mild and will not keep him from playing in the Lone Star Showdown on Saturday against Texas A&M in College Station.
The third-year Texas starter finished the win over Kentucky 20-of-31 passing for 191 yards and two touchdowns, but only attempted five passes in the second half, completing three for 20 yards.
Before the game, Ewers received recognition on Senior Day, seemingly confirming that he plans to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft following the season.
Texas A&M has five players listed as questionable on their Wednesday injury report:
