Texas TE Ja’Tavion Sanders will play against Oklahoma

Head coach Steve Sarkisian will have one of his best playmakers on offense available on Saturday when the No. 3 Texas Longhorns take on the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Bowl with the recovery of junior tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders from the leg injury he suffered last week in the win over the then-No. 24 Kansas Jayhawks.

“JT looks great — he’ll be it’ll be good to go Saturday,” Sarkisian said during his Thursday media availability.

On a running play near the goal line in the first quarter, Sanders was rolled up on, getting his right leg pinned beneath the pile.
