Heading into the all-important Texas A&M Aggies game, the Texas Longhorns are relatively injury-free. There is only one name joining the list this week, but it’s a big name. Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is listed as “Probable.”
Ewers tweaked his ankle last week in UT’s 31-14 win over Kentucky. The Junior from Southlake had an MRI on Monday that showed no structural damage. So Ewers might be bothered by the ankle in College Station, but he shouldn’t be too limited.
If the ankle proves too painful to play on, the Horns have a very capable back up in Arch Manning. Though, Steve Sarkisian would rather not throw the redshirt freshman into the fiery cauldron that is Kyle Field.
The rivalry with A&M is restarting after a 13 year pause and has the added importance of a trip to the SEC Championship Game for the winner.
The Aggies head into Saturday relatively healthy. Running back Reuben Owens and cornerbacks Will Lee III and Jaydon Hill all left A&M’s loss to Auburn with injuries. All three are listed as “Questionable.”
