The Wednesday injury report for the No. 1 Texas Longhorns head of Saturday’s matchup against the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas featured positive news regarding the status of redshirt junior starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, now listed as probable after missing the last two games with an oblique strain.
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said on Monday that Ewers will start against Oklahoma barring any setbacks in practice this week.
Despite the benefit of a bye week, the injury situation at running back remains serious — super senior transfer Velton Gardner remains out with an undisclosed injury and junior walk-on Colin Page is listed as questionable after missing the Mississippi State game with his own undisclosed injury.
