Quinn Ewers suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter of Texas' Week 8 game against Houston. The quarterback left the game in the third quarter after being sacked by Cougars edge rusher David Ugwoegbu and eventually returned to the sideline with his right arm in a sling.
Fears that Ewers sustained a serious injury were confirmed Sunday night. The sophomore was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, according to Rivals.com's Anwar Richardson. Though an exact recovery timetable wasn't announced, Ewers is expected to be out for several weeks. But he could return this season.
The Longhorns have five games remaining on their 2023 schedule and will likely play in the Big 12 championship game. Another one or two games could be played if Texas qualifies for the College Football Playoff. If not, the Longhorns will go to a bowl game.
