Quinn Ewers, the Texas Longhorns’ standout quarterback, suffered an abdominal injury against the University of Texas, San Antonio this weekend and had to leave the game early. There was significant concern that his injury may have devastating consequences, however it was labelled a “week to week” injury with no schedule for his comeback.
Texas football star quarterback Quinn Ewers’ injury status has been revealed.
This reveals his status for the Longhorns’ upcoming game versus Louisiana Monroe. Head coach Steve Sarkisian issued an update on his quarterback, stating that Ewers is questionable for the game this weekend. Ewers has emerged as one of college football’s best quarterbacks over the last two seasons. Last season, he enjoyed a career year, helping Texas get to the College Football Playoff.
He led Texas to a 10–2 record, completing 69% of his passes for 3,479 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The quarterback continued his success from last season, throwing for 691 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions. Before departing the game against UTSA, Ewers was having a terrific performance.
He completed 14 of 16 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns. If Ewers is unable to play this weekend, backup Arch Manning will have the opportunity to start for Texas. Manning filled in for Ewers this weekend after he was injured and provided an immediate boost to the attacking onslaught.
He passed for 223 yards and four touchdowns over the air. Manning also ran for 53 yards and one touchdown on the run. Manning’s dual-threat skill distinguishes him from Ewers and adds another gear to the Texas offence. The Longhorns may decide to bench Ewers this weekend to ensure his injury recovers completely. The redshirt freshman reflects on his impressive performance for Texas. “Obviously there’s a lot to improve on and grow from,” Manning told ESPN, “but I’m glad I got to get in there and get hit again and feel what it’s like.”
The last thing Texas wants is for Ewers to be harmed any more than he currently is. Furthermore, Manning has demonstrated that he is more than capable of leading this offence to great success. Texas has championship hopes this season, so defending its starter at all means is critical. Following their game against Louisiana Monroe, the Longhorns will host Mississippi State in their first SEC game of the season.
