Texas starting quarterback Sam Ehlinger suffered a shoulder injury in the first half against Colorado in the Alamo Bowl.
Ehlinger was ruled out for the second half of the matchup but later returned to the Longhorns' bench with his arm in a sling and donning street clothes. Casey Thompson took over as the quarterback at the start of the third quarter.
Ehlinger's injury comes hours after Miami quarterback D'Eriq King exited the Cheez-It Bowl with a right knee injury, marking a tough day for star QBs in bowl game appearances.
The Longhorns QB went 10-of-16 for 160 yards and tallied a single touchdown to help Texas take a 17-10 halftime lead over Colorado.
