The Texas Longhorns are going to be looking at a different player under center, as Quinn Ewers will miss some time going forward.
It has been reported that Ewers suffered a grade 2 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder during their win over the Houston Cougars. There's no timetable in place for the return, but he's likely to return to action this season.
Nevertheless, his absence is a massive blow to the third-ranked program in the nation. Redshirt freshman Maalik Murphy is going to be starting in Ewers' absence.
Jalon Daniels, QB (Kansas Jayhawks)

The Kansas Jayhawks have not seen starting quarterback Jalon Daniels on the field in more than a month, as he's dealing with a back injury.
He's questionable with the injury for Saturday's Week 9 Big 12 game against the Oklahoma Sooners, and it's is beginning to become a lost year for the junior.
He has been playing well, as he's 56-of-75 (74.7 completion percentage) for 705 yards with five touchdowns to one interception this season. He's also in jeopardy of losing the starting spot as senior quarterback Jason Bean has been playing well this year in Daniels' absence.
Hal Presley, WR (Baylor Bears)
