Report: Texas QB Quinn Ewers to return, start vs. Oklahoma

Quinn Ewers is BACK.

The moment many Texas fans have been waiting for has arrived.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported on Thursday that Quinn Ewers will make his return to the field and is expected to start vs. Oklahoma in the Red River Shootout on Saturday.

Ewers has been sidelined since the first half of the Alabama game in Week 2. He put together a fantastic first quarter against the Crimson Tide before suffering an SC sprain in his shoulder.

The Longhorns were the favorite entering this Week 5 matchup prior to the Ewers news, now the betting odds will likely rise.
