Texas Gets Encouraging Injury Update on Projected Top 2027 NFL Draft Pick
The Texas Longhorns avoided the worst-case scenario with star left tackle Trevor Goosby's knee injury.
Texas fans are relieved to hear encouraging news about their projected top-10 NFL draft pick, Trevor Goosby. The left tackle suffered a knee injury during Monday night's practice, causing alarm amongst the Longhorns' fanbase. According to MRI results, Goosby sustained a bone bruise rather than a more severe injury. While the exact return date is uncertain, it appears he may be ready to return as early as mid-September, potentially in time for the championship game against Ohio State on September 12.
The injury could have forced Goosby to miss the season opener against Texas State on September 5, but his anticipated return would ensure he's available for the Ohio State game. Texas might have to shift Brandon Baker to the left tackle position against Texas State and rely on Jaydon Chatman or Jordan Coleman to step in at right tackle.
Goosby is considered the top offensive tackle prospect in the 2027 draft class, allowing only 16 pressures and three sacks while playing 847 snaps at left tackle.
