Texas QB Ewers back in practice but still questionable for No. 1 Longhorns' SEC opener
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian says quarterback Quinn Ewers is back in practice but remains questionable to play this week with an abdomen strain when the No. 1 Longhorns face Mississippi State
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers practiced Monday but remains questionable to play with an abdomen strain when the No. 1 Longhorns face Mississippi State in their Southeastern Conference opener, coach Steve Sarkisian said.
Ewers sat out last weekend's 51-3 win over Louisiana-Monroe, and Arch Manning threw two touchdowns and two interceptions in earning his first career victory as a starter.
And if Ewers can't play Saturday against Mississippi State (1-3, 0-1), it will be Manning leading the Longhorns (4-0) into the program's first game in the SEC.
Ewers was injured in the first half of Texas' win over UTSA. He at first laid on the field, then walked slowly to the sideline medical tent before leaving the field. He was on the sideline with the Longhorns on Saturday but was not in uniform.
