Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers to Miss Next Game Due to Injury
Austin, TX – The University of Texas Longhorns will be without their starting quarterback, Quinn Ewers, for their upcoming game against the Kansas Jayhawks due to an injury sustained during last Saturday’s matchup. Ewers, a pivotal player for the Longhorns this season, left the game in the second quarter after a hard hit that raised immediate concerns about his health.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed during a press conference that Ewers is dealing with a shoulder injury that will prevent him from participating in practice and the game. While the specifics of the injury were not disclosed, Sarkisian emphasized the importance of Ewers’ long-term health, stating, “We want to make sure he is 100 percent before he returns to the field.”
Ewers has been a significant contributor to the Longhorns’ offense this season, throwing for over 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns in just six games. His absence will undoubtedly be felt as the Longhorns look to maintain momentum in a competitive Big 12 conference.
In Ewers’ absence, sophomore Malik Murphy is expected to take the reins as the starting quarterback. Murphy has shown promise in limited playing time, and this will be a critical opportunity for him to showcase his abilities against a formidable Kansas defense. Sarkisian expressed confidence in Murphy, saying, “He’s been working hard and is ready for this moment. I believe he will step up and lead the team.”
The Longhorns, currently ranked in the top 10 nationally, face a challenging matchup against the Jayhawks, who have been competitive this season. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the team adapts to Ewers’ absence and how Murphy performs under pressure.
Ewers’ timeline for recovery remains uncertain, but the Longhorns are hopeful he will return to action soon. The team will rely on its depth and resilience as they navigate this critical stretch of the season without their star quarterback.
