According to reports on Sunday following Texas’ victory over Kentucky, Ewers is nursing a “mild ankle sprain,” but is expected be ready to go for Saturday’s game. It was previously earlier on Sunday that Ewers was to undergo a “precautionary MRI” on Sunday after injuring his ankle in the Week 13 matchup.

His injury didn’t stop him from finishing the game, or leading the Longhorns to a 31-14 over the Wildcats at home on Saturday. He comepleted 20 of his 31 passing attempts against Kentucky for 191 yards and two touchdowns.

“It’s just a little tender,” Ewers told reporters after the win. “Just gonna do as much treatment as I can. It was around the 50-yard line and I stepped up and kind of took off running a little bit and then kind of got hip-drop tackled. And I think he kind of just rolled up on it a little, but it’s football and stuff like that happens.”

As Ewers continues to work on nursing his ankle, the opening kickoff is drawing near. The rehashed rivalry will kick off on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET and will air live on ABC and ESPN+.
