Texas QB: Another Chapter in the Never-Ending Saga of Ewers and His Shoulder
Texas fans, buckle up! It's time for another thrilling installment in the ongoing drama that is the health of Longhorn quarterback Quinn Ewers. Did he take a hit? Is his arm made of glass? Will he miss the next game? Place your bets, folks, because this one's a nail-biter.
Recap: Ewers Bites the Dust (Again)
Let's rewind to last week's nail-biting victory over the Houston Cougars. Ewers, the shining star of Texas's offense, was playing lights out. Touchdowns were being thrown, defenses were being defied, and then...disaster struck! Ewers went down after a rough tackle, clutching his shoulder like it had just made the acquaintance of a linebacker's helmet.
The Great Shoulder Caper: Will Ewers Play Again This Season?
The post-game press conference was a frenzy of speculation. Coach Sarkisian offered some cryptic coach-speak about "hurt shoulders" and "taking things day by day," leaving fans with more questions than answers. Thankfully, the MRI gods have shone some light on the situation. Ewers is suffering from a grade 2 AC joint sprain, which sounds fancy but basically means his throwing shoulder is a bit unhappy.
Here's the good news: The recovery time for this type of injury is typically up to six weeks, which means Ewers isn't out for the season. The bad news? The Longhorns have some big games coming up, and Ewers might have to miss some key matchups.
So, Who Takes the Reins?
In Ewers's absence, Texas will likely turn to sophomore quarterback Maalik Murphy. Murphy is a talented runner with a strong arm, but doesn't have the same level of experience as Ewers. It'll be interesting to see how he handles the pressure of leading the Longhorns under the Friday night lights.
Stay tuned, folks! The Texas QB saga continues. Will Ewers make a heroic comeback? Will Murphy rise to the occasion? One thing's for sure: Texas fans won't be bored anytime soon.
