After Texas football showed a clean bill of health through the first two days of fall practice this week, we got our first absence due to injury/illness on Aug. 4. Mulitple reports (including from Jeff Howe of Horns247) indicated that redshirt sophomore Texas running back Jonathon Brooks missed the third fall practice on Friday evening due to an “undisclosed illness”.
A school spokesperson reportedly broke the news that Brooks missed Friday’s practice due to the aforementioned undisclosed illness. Anwar Richardson of Orangebloods also reported on Aug. 4 (subscriber content) that “Longhorn officials did not provide any further information” regarding Brooks’ illness.
