Texas suffered its second season-ending injury at running back Monday when true freshman Christian Clark tore his Achilles tendon in practice, the school announced Tuesday.

Texas said Clark will have surgery and will miss the remainder of the year, six days after announcing CJ Baxter, last year's opening-game starter, will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

The losses leave the Longhorns with three scholarship running backs.

Jaydon Blue, who has appeared in 23 games at Texas, rushing for 431 yards with three touchdowns, is expected to shoulder the load this season.
