Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is nearing a return from an abdominal strain injury, with sights set on facing rival Oklahoma on October 12, 2024. Head coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed Ewers’ progress, stating he’s “trending in the right direction” and expected to participate in practice this week. Ewers’ return would provide a significant boost to the Longhorns’ offense.
Ewers suffered the injury in the September 14 win over UTSA and has missed the last two games. In his absence, backup quarterback Arch Manning has led the team to victories over ULM and Mississippi State. While Manning has performed admirably, Ewers’ experience and leadership are crucial for the Longhorns’ championship aspirations.
The Red River Rivalry matchup against Oklahoma is a pivotal game for Texas, and Ewers’ return would significantly impact the team’s chances. With a 5-0 record and a #2 national ranking, the Longhorns aim to stay undefeated and assert their dominance in the Big 12. Ewers’ health and performance will be closely monitored leading up to the level
