The Texas Longhorns are expected to go through the remainder of preseason camp without one of the nation’s top centers, as senior Zach Shackelford recently suffered a foot sprain that will likely keep him from practicing until the season opener, though there isn’t currently a firm timetable on his return, according to the school.
So while the Longhorns haven’t suffered any major injuries so far in preseason camp, the news about Shackelford is concerning — he’s the most experienced lineman on the team as a four-year starter and he’s also one of the most important leaders for Texas.
