Coming out of a five-hour, four-overtime game against the Oklahoma Sooners played on a hot day in the Cotton Bowl, the Texas Longhorns desperately needed a bye week to get healthy.
After taking Wednesday and Saturday off last week, in addition to the normal Monday off during game week, Texas head coach Tom Herman was optimistic about the injury outlook during his media availability on Monday.
“Overall, our injury situation is improving quite a bit if everything stays the way that it is and COVID doesn’t rear its ugly head,” Herman said
The Longhorns currently have two players who are out for the season in freshman wide receiver Troy Omeire (torn ACL), and redshirt sophomore linebacker Adyodele Adeoye (shoulder).
