Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian was are that the injury was to his clavicle following the game and now he has a timetable for his QB's return. Quinn Ewers being sidelined for so long is a very unfortunate development for the Longhorns. They will now have to lean on Hudson Card for the next month or so.
So far this season, Ewers completed 25 of his 36 pass attempts for 359 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. The Ohio State transfer had some beautiful throws against the Crimson Tide before getting his shoulder injured. Texas will face UTSA, Texas Tech and West Virginia over the next few weeks.
The earliest that Ewers could be back in action is the Red River Showdown against Oklahoma on Oct. 8. It would be huge for the Longhorns to get him back for the massive rivalry game as they look to bounce back from a 5-7 record last season.
