Texas QB Quinn Ewers Expected to Start Against Texas A&M Despite Ankle Injury

Ewers is listed as probable, but questions remain about his mobility, raising the possibility of backup Arch Manning contributing in key moments.

Quinn Ewers, Texas Longhorns' starting quarterback, is recovering from a high-ankle sprain sustained in last week's game against Kentucky and is listed as probable for tonight's game against Texas A&M.
Ewers has been limited in practice, and his mobility may be restricted, prompting speculation that Arch Manning, the team's backup QB, could see action during the game.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian faces a critical decision, as the Longhorns need a win to secure a spot in the SEC Championship game and remain in playoff contention.
Texas A&M, led by head coach Mike Elko, is expected to target Ewers' limited mobility, with analysts recommending defensive strategies inspired by Georgia's success against him earlier this season.
The rivalry game marks the first meeting between the Longhorns and Aggies since 2011, adding heightened stakes as both teams aim to bolster their postseason aspirations.
