Texas QB Quinn Ewers Leaves Matchup Against Houston With Right Shoulder Injury
Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters that Ewers" tried to play through" the injury
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers left the No. 8 Longhorns' in-state matchup against Houston in the fourth quarter on Saturday with a shoulder injury.
Ewers, 20, returned to the sideline with his right shoulder in a sling. Redshirt freshman Maalik Murphy entered the contest in his absence, going 1-of-2 for seven yards.
Texas went on to win 31-24, leaning on tailback Jonathan Brooks on the game-winning drive.
"Quinn has a hurt shoulder," head coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters after the game. "We'll know [more] tomorrow. He tried to play through it."
Ewers, in his second year with the Longhorns, has completed 69.6% of his attempts for 1,704 yards, 11 touchdowns and three interceptions. Texas (6-1, 3-1 in the Big 12) hosts BYU next Saturday.
The Longhorns are currently a full game behind Oklahoma for first place in the Big 12, but the No. 5 Sooners hold the tiebreaker over Texas via their 34-30 win in the Red River Rivalry on Oct. 7.
