MRI Confirms Texas QB Quinn Ewers’ Injury Before Texas A&M Game
Austin, TX – The Texas Longhorns’ hopes for a crucial win against their historic rival Texas A&M have taken a major hit as an MRI confirmed quarterback Quinn Ewers is dealing with a significant injury.
Ewers, who has been the cornerstone of the Longhorns’ offense this season, sustained the injury during last week’s game. Initial assessments suggested a possible strain, but the MRI revealed a more concerning issue, sparking doubts about his availability for the highly anticipated showdown.
Sources close to the program indicate the injury affects Ewers’ shoulder, though the exact severity has not been disclosed. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the situation in a press conference, expressing both concern and optimism.
“We’re still evaluating Quinn’s status, but we’ll prepare for all scenarios,” Sarkisian said. “He’s a tough competitor, and we’ll do what’s best for his health and the team.”
The Longhorns are expected to turn to backup quarterback Maalik Murphy if Ewers is unable to suit up. Murphy has shown promise in limited action but lacks the experience Ewers brings to high-stakes games like the rivalry clash with Texas A&M.
This injury comes at a critical juncture for Texas, which is fighting to solidify its position in the College Football Playoff race. The rivalry game, set to take place at Kyle Field, will be the first between the two teams since Texas announced its move to the SEC.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the Longhorns will adapt without their star quarterback if Ewers is sidelined. Updates on his status are expected closer to game day, leaving both teams and fans on edge.
Stay tuned for further developments as Texas prepares for one of the most important games of its season.
