DeAndre Moore Jr. was not one of those two players.
The second injury report for the No. 3 Texas Longhorns ahead of Saturday’s game against the Kentucky Wildcats at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin received two updates on Thursday with two players upgraded from questionable to probable.
It’s not the ideal news, however, as sophomore wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. remains questionable due to the ankle injury he sustained in last week’s win over Arkansas in Fayetteville.
“Obviously, we’ve got a couple guys that as we get closer to kickoff, I don’t know if they will be game-time decisions, but more like game-day decisions that would be sure nice to have at our disposal, so we’ll see how it goes,” Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said on Thursday.
Redshirt freshman edge Colton Vasek and senior linebacker Mo Blackwell are on a more positive trend line for the Longhorns as both were upgraded from questionable to probable.
While Vasek has missed the last two games with his injury, Blackwell was added to the injury report last week before sitting out against the Razorbacks. Vasek is a reserve who has played 134 snaps this season, mostly in blowouts, but Blackwell factors into the linebacker rotation and is a key special teams contributor.
