Quinn Ewers reportedly ruled out for remainder of Texas-Alabama with shoulder injury

More updates are coming in about Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers after his injury against Alabama on Saturday. The Longhorns starter won’t return to the game, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported.

Ewers went down in the first quarter after a huge hit from Crimson Tide defender Dallas Turner, and FOX Sports’ Jenny Taft confirmed it was a left shoulder injury. Thamel reported he won’t see the field again in Week 2, while Taft said fans shouldn’t expect an update during the game, per Steve Sarkisian’s policy.

“I know everyone wants a Quinn Ewers update for Texas,” Taft said on the FOX broadcast coming out of halftime. “I can confirm it’s that left shoulder that they are evaluating. Zero sign of Quinn around the stadium, at the locker room. So that is the latest from Texas. Coach Sarkisian does not like to provide those in-game injury updates.”

At the time of the injury, Ewers had completed nine of 12 passes for 134 yards and had Texas knocking on the door of a touchdown, which Bijan Robinson eventually scored.

Quinn Ewers leaves Texas vs Alabama with injury after big hit

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers looked like he was finding a groove early on against Alabama. But a big hit from Dallas Turner knocked him out of the game — causing Longhorns fans to hold their collective breath.

On a first-and-goal play late in the first quarter, Ewers threw the ball out of bounds as Turner was coming toward him and leveled a huge hit. Ewers landed hard on the play and took a while to get up before walking off the field under his own power.

The former Five Star Plus+ recruit was looking the part in his second game as Texas starter, completing nine of his first 12 passes for 134 yards before the injury. Hudson Card, who lost the quarterback competition to Ewers, entered the game as a result. Ewers, in turn, headed to the locker room.

At the time of the injury, Texas trailed Alabama 10-3 while sitting on the Crimson Tide one-yard line, knocking on the door of the end zone.
