Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers will be making his on-field return and is expected to start Saturday’s game against Oklahoma, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
It marks his first return to action since suffering a clavicle sprain in the team’s 20–19 loss to Alabama in Week 2. According to Thamel, Ewers has “been practicing without limitations this week” ahead of Texas’s fiercest rivalry: the Red River Showdown.
Ewers was originally expected to miss 4–6 weeks due to the injury, Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman reported that the 19-year-old was progressing well and could be “back far sooner than people expect.”
