Other than two players that Texas Longhorns head coach Tom Herman said on Monday are out for the season — junior linebacker Malcolm Roach (fractured foot) and redshirt tight end Rob Cummins (knee) — the Horns are returning to health ahead of Saturday’s game in the Cotton Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners.
Two players who missed last week’s game in Manhattan are still in concussion protocol, but redshirt freshman safety Montrell Estell and freshman safety BJ Foster are both expected to play against Oklahoma unless they suffer a setback in the next two days.
Senior defensive back Jarmarquis Durst will also return to special teams action after missing last weekend’s game with a shoulder sprain.
