Quinn Ewers' injury update

According to Yahoo Sports, Quinn Ewers is listed as probable going into Saturday's game against the Aggies, which means there's a 50-50 chance that Ewers will play on Saturday.

Ewers is dealing with an ankle injury in the lead-up to the crunch game. It's the latest in a string of pesky injuries suffered during the Texas star's junior year.

The Texas Longhorns QB1 has dealt with numerous injuries this season and even missed some time early this year. Ewers' appearance on the pregame injury report might be worrisome for the Texas Longhorns fanbase.

For now, it's a toss-up between whether Ewers will start against the Aggies. The Longhorns will look to lay down a marker in the last game of the regular season by dispatching the Texas A&M Aggies in their first matchup in over a decade.

What happened to Quinn Ewers?

According to Yahoo Sports, Quinn Ewers hurt his ankle in Week 13 against the Kentucky Wildcats. Subsequently, he underwent an MRI scan on the affected ankle to determine the extent of the damage. The result was that Ewers suffered no structural damage.

Hence, Ewers could start for the Longhorns in Week 14, but it all depends on his pain threshold for the matchup. If he's unable to feature, the Longhorns have the luxury of rolling out Arch Manning in the final game of the season.

The Longhorns could decide to rest Ewers to keep him fresh for the SEC Championship and expanded college football playoffs. With a backup quarterback like Manning, there shouldn't be a situation where the Longhorns rush Ewers back to action if he's not fully fit.
