Texas Longhorns head coach Tom Herman announced quarterback Shane Buechele suffered a bruised throwing shoulder in Saturday's 51-41 defeat to the Maryland Terrapins, OrangeBloods.com's Anwar Richardson reported Monday.
Herman also said the training staff will evaluate Buechele's shoulder throughout the week to determine his availability for Texas' upcoming game against the San Jose State Spartans.
Buechele made a strong first impression as a true freshman in 2016, throwing for 280 yards and two touchdowns in the Longhorns' season-opening 50-47 double-overtime victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
His inexperience was evident as the season unfolded, though, as he struggled to find consistency.
