In an appearance on “Always College Football” with Greg McElroy on Thursday, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian provided an update on redshirt sophomore running back CJ Baxter as he continues his recovery from the LCL and ACL tears that ended his 2025 season during preseason camp.
According to a report from Inside Texas 10 days ago, Baxter was cleared for football activities, marking the first time he’d participated in drills since suffering the injury.
But the Longhorns staff continues to take a risk-averse approach with the 6’1, 232-pounder.
“We’ve been methodical in our approach with him,” Sarkisian said.
