Texas RB Bijan Robinson likely to miss remainder of season

The hits keep on coming for Texas.

Just when Texas fans thought this season couldn’t get any worse, it does. During the 57-56 loss to Kansas, star running bak Bijan Robinson went down with an apparent arm injury.

This marks the second week in a row he has been banged up in a game, as he also exited the Iowa State game with a neck strain. While the team has yet to officially report or publicly update anyone on Robinson’s injury, Austin American-Statesman sports columnist Kirk Bohls reported that Robinson injured his elbow and he expects him to be done for the rest of the year.

This is a detrimental loss to an already thin team, as Robinson is Texas’ leading rusher, while also being No. 2 on the team in catches and receiving touchdowns.

Texas takes on West Virginia and Kansas State in their final two games of the season, and they must win both in order to reach a bowl game.

The Longhorns will likely look to Roschon Johnson, Keilan Robinson, and Jonathon Brooks to fill the void.

It’s a crushing blow for one of the nation’s most talented players.

Bijan Robinson injury update after Iowa State game

Bijan Robinson injury update

In what was aft the worst team performance of the season, the Longhorns had an injury scare with star running back Bijan Robinson.

In the fourth quarter with the offense trying to salvage some sort of dignity against Iowa State down 27-7, the Longhorns were attempting to move the ball downfield when a handoff to Bijan Robinson ended with him being tackled and fumbling the ball for the second time of the game.

Robinson has taken a lot of hard hits, but he did not get up after this one, and needed medical attention. He was able to slowly make his way off the field, but walked to the locker with a towel covering his face in obvious pain. It was unclear at the time what he had hurt, but a team’s spokesperson updated the media after the game about his injury status.

The Longhorns are likely glad to hear it was just a neck strain, as an injury to anyone is not good, especially when that person is your best player.

Robinson like the rest of the offense struggled today in the loss, as other than the two fumbles, he was held below 100-yards for a second straight week and for the first time all season did not record a touchdown.

The Longhorns and Robinson take on 1-8 Kansas next week, in a game that they hope will end this dreadful streak off losses.
