Quinn Ewers injury update: Texas QB's status revealed vs. Texas A&M

Quinn Ewers suffered an ankle injury during Saturday’s victory over Kentucky, and was listed as probable for Week 14’s SEC finale against Texas A&M.

Intial reports labeled Ewers as probable on Wednedsay, and his status is becoming more clear as the Thursday injury report for Texas and Texas A&M has been revealed.

Texas:

DB Derek Williams Jr. – Out
RB CJ Baxter – Out
RB Christian Clark – Out
RB Velton Gardner – Out
QB Quinn Ewers – Probable

Texas A&M:

WR Cyrus Allen – Out
DB Tyreek Chappell – Out
RB Le’Veon Moss – Out
OL Mark Nabou Jr. – Out
RB Rueben Owens – Questionable
DB Jaydon Hill – Questionable
QB Jaylen Henderson – Questionable
DB Will Lee III – Questionable
OL Chase Bisontis – Questionable

With Saturday’s big-time matchup drawing close, the Longhorns are favored by 5.5 points despite the uncertainty surrounding Ewers’ ankle. The matchup, known as the ‘Lone Star Showdown,’ also has an over/under total set at 48.5 as of this report.

While the line doesn’t expect it to happen, over 100,000 fans on hand inside Kyle Field wanting nothing more than to ruin Texas’ season and the Aggies don’t see their home field as a final stop on the Longhorns’ way to Atlanta.

Texas A&M is coming into this matchup off a heartbreaking loss to Auburn in four overtimes. Meanwhile, a Texas win would send the Longhorns to the SEC Championship, effectively guaranteeing their spot in the College Football Playoff. Many have pointed toward Texas as being the SEC’s main representative in the CFP since Georgia fell to Ole Miss earlier this season.

However, the rivalry factor will play into this matchup. Saturday marks the first meeting between Texas A&M and Texas since the Aggies moved to the SEC after the 2011 season. The Longhorns own a 76-37-5 lead in the all-time series, and Texas has current bragging rights having won the last matchup.

Kickoff between the Longhorns and the Aggies is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET and will air live on ABC and ESPN+.
