The Texas Longhorns on Sunday received some good news about Quinn Ewers.
Ewers injured his ankle in the first half of Texas’ 31-14 win over Kentucky on Saturday. The junior quarterback went into the medical tent but returned to the game and finished 20/31 for 191 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Ewers underwent an MRI Sunday on his ankle, and according to Longhorns reporter Anwar Richardson, things look pretty good. Richardson reports that Ewers has a “mild” ankle sprain.
The Longhorns are 10-1 and have a big game ahead against rival Texas A&M at College Station on Saturday. The winner of the game will face Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.
Ewers has passed for 2,089 yards, 23 touchdowns and 6 interceptions so far this season. He’s Texas’ No. 1 quarterback, though the team does have a good backup option in Arch Manning if needed.
