Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger has a first-degree sprain in his throwing shoulder, according to an MRI performed on Sunday, the team announced.
Ehlinger, who has started all seven of the No. 7 Longhorns' games this season but left in the first quarter of Texas' 23-17 win over Baylor on Saturday with the injury, will continue to be treated by the Longhorns' medical staff and rest this week. The Longhorns are off this week and do not return to action until Oct. 27, when they meet Oklahoma State.
Texas coach Tom Herman said on Saturday following the game that Ehlinger had an AC sprain on his right shoulder but that he was hopeful to have Ehlinger throwing again by the end of the week.
