Xavier Worthy's injury update

Starting wide receiver Xavier Worthy is expected to play on Friday night.

Worthy left last week's game against TCU but is expected to play against Texas Tech, head coach Steve Sarkisian revealed.

Worthy has caught 63 passes for 834 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Jonathon Brooks' injury update

Longhorns' starting running back Jonathon Brooks' season is over after he suffered a torn ACL two weeks ago.

"We're heartbroken for Jonathon," Sarkisian said in a statement. "He was having a fantastic season and leaves a void that needs to be filled. But we know he will continue to be an invaluable leader on our team, helping us prepare as we move forward in our mission this season."

Brooks had 187 carries for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.

Ja'Tavion Sanders' injury update

Texas tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders is expected to play on Friday night despite dealing with an undisclosed injury.

Sanders has recorded 28 receptions for 457 yards and a touchdown.

DJ Campbell's injury update

Longhorns offensive lineman DJ Campbell is expected to play on Friday night after leaving last week's game with an injury.

Sarkisian told the media that he expects Worthy, Sanders, and Campbell to play.

"That was a physical game Saturday night. We had a variety of guys that went down," Sarkisian said. "I don't foresee any of those guys being out Friday. We need to monitor that as the week goes, but I do feel confident enough today that everyone who was available Saturday night will be available Friday night."
