Report: Texas WR Jake Smith to miss Texas Tech game
Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports The plan to get Texas Longhorns sophomore wide receiver Jake Smith back on the practice field this week for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury several weeks ago got derailed by sickness this week, according to Chip Brown of Horns247.
Brown reports that the illness isn’t COVID-19, but it will keep Smith from making his season debut this weekend in Lubbock against Texas Tech since he couldn’t practice.
Smith earned the starting job at the H position during preseason camp after recording 25 catches for 275 yards and six touchdowns as a freshman in 2019.
