Texas releases initial injury report for Tennessee game
Four players are listed are already ruled out for the Longhorns.
Texas has officially released their initial injury report for the upcoming game against Tennessee, as the Longhorns gear up for their SEC opener on Saturday. The report highlights several players who are out and others who are questionable, but there are also a few players expected to play.
As of Wednesday evening, Texas will likely be without four players for the Saturday matchup: sophomore defensive lineman Justus Terry, junior nickel back Xavier Filsaime, sophomore offensive lineman Jordan Coleman, and sophomore tight end Nick Townsend. Nick Townsend is listed as doubtful, while senior running back Hollywood Smothers is listed as questionable but expected to play.
On a more optimistic note, senior edge Colin Simmons is listed as probable, with Coach Steve Sarkisian stating that he does not believe the injury is serious and that it was precautionary. The same applies to Kobe Black, who was not listed on the injury report at all, having missed the previous game against UTSA. Overall, despite a few notable injuries, Texas appears to be relatively healthy for the upcoming game, and the team is taking a cautious approach given the long season ahead.
