Injured Texas QB Quinn Ewers Resumes Practice, Status Upgraded to 'Day to Day' Ahead of TCU Game

Backup QB Maalik Murphy looks to improve as Ewers' return hangs in the balance with Longhorns' championship hopes on the line.

Injured Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has resumed practice and his status is upgraded to 'day to day' due to a shoulder sprain that caused him to miss the last two games.
Backup quarterback Maalik Murphy led the team to victory in the last two games, but his performance has been marked by interceptions and near-picks.
Coach Steve Sarkisian acknowledges the need to work with Murphy on knowing when to throw the ball away rather than risking interceptions.
Ewers' return is crucial as Texas' championship hopes depend on winning their upcoming games against TCU, Iowa State, and Texas Tech.
The Longhorns could potentially bring in third-string quarterback Arch Manning, a highly-touted freshman, if Ewers' recovery takes longer than expected.
