Texas loses two more starters to injury in loss

A struggling and banged-up Texas defense has lost two more starters to injury.

Junior safety Chris Brown will miss six weeks with a fractured forearm that will require surgery, coach Tom Herman said Monday. Senior linebacker Jeffrey McCullough is out for Saturday's game against Kansas with a dislocated shoulder. Both injuries occurred Saturday in Texas' 34-27 loss to Oklahoma in Dallas.

Brown has started Texas' first six games, ranking fourth on the team in tackles with 25 (three for loss). His injury is the latest for a Texas secondary playing without star safety Caden Sterns (knee), and cornerbacks Jalen Green (shoulder) and Josh Thompson (foot).
