Michael Taaffe was already stuck on the sidelines when the No. 20 Texas Longhorns faced (and defeated) the No. 9 Vanderbilt Commodores. Throughout the game, he had a few teammates join him as they went down with injuries of their own.
Defensive back Jelani McDonald had to be helped to the locker room, leaving for the remainder of the game. Then, wide receiver Ryan Wingo was in the medical tent for a brief period during the matchup before officially being sidelined for the remainder of the game with an apparent injury to his hand.
