Texas could miss Colin Simmons, other standouts Saturday at Missouri
Steve Sarkisian's team could be without its leading edge rusher in Saturday's SEC tilt.
Texas could be significantly affected by the absence of key players, including defensive end Colin Simmons and wide receivers Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo, and defensive backs Kade Phillips and Graceson Littleton, according to the latest availability report released by Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian. Simmons, who leads the NCAA with 10.5 sacks this season, is listed as questionable due to a high-ankle sprain, while Coleman and Wingo have scored a combined 11 of Texas' 15 receiving touchdowns.
With two significant injuries to running backs Hollywood Smothers and Trevor Goosby, the Longhorns are also dealing with the absence of offensive tackle Trevor Goosby and tight end Nick Townsend. The team remains hopeful for the recovery of these players before their upcoming game against Missouri, with kickoff scheduled for 11 a.m. CT.
