Isaiah Bond injury: Texas WR's status updated on Thursday report vs. Vanderbilt

Texas is looking to bounce back from its first loss of the season when it faces Vanderbilt on the road this Saturday. Vanderbilt isn’t typically a tough place to play, but this also isn’t a typical Commodores team. Vandy has already taken down one college football giant this season in Alabama and will attempt to beat another one this weekend in Texas.

The updated injury reports for Saturday’s game have been released. The Longhorns could be without a couple of key players against the Commodores.

Longhorns safety Andrew Mukuba, who already has two interceptions this season, is in serious danger of missing the game. Receiver Isaiah Bond could also be out.

The good news for Texas is that it now has both quarterbacks in Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning available after Ewers dealt with an oblique injury earlier in the season.

Here are the full injury reports for both Texas and Vanderbilt ahead of the SEC game:

Texas Longhorns:

CB Derek Williams Jr. – Out
RB CJ Baxter – Out
RB Christian Clark – Out
RB Velton Gardner – Out

Vanderbilt Commodores:

CB Mark Davis – Out

TE Eli Stowers – Probable
LB Langston Patterson – Probable
RB AJ Newberry – Probable
CB Martel Hight – Probable
RB Sedrick Alexander – Probable
EDGE Miles Capers – Probable

Clark Lea breaks down unique situation ahead of Texas game

Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea is in a tough spot entering this week because of the Texas result a week ago. The Longhorns dropped their first game of the season, falling to Georgia.

That could leave the Commodores facing a pissed-off Longhorns bunch.

“I think you can take that and go either way with it,” Lea said on Tuesday. “When we’ve had a tough loss, the game at Missouri, there’s a world where that can be taken as heartbreaking, and how do you come back from that? How devastated is the locker room? Or you can take it and say the guys will be motivated, they’re so close, they’re going to keep inching towards that breakthrough.

“It can swing either way.”
