Longhorns Release Injury Report Before Arkansas

TLDR: The Texas Longhorns are heading to Fayetteville this weekend to battle the Arkansas Razorbacks after securing a 49-17 win over the Florida Gators. Following a second bye week, Texas is in optimal shape, though facing challenges with injured personnel. Linebacker Mo Blackwell finds himself doubtful due to an undisclosed injury, while Colton Vasek, a redshirt freshman edge, may remain sidelined for another week. On Arkansas’ front, the spotlight is on quarterback Taylen Green and running back Ja’Quinden Jackson, both probable for play, albeit questions remain regarding Green’s full recovery. Although Ja’Quinden Jackson showcases readiness, doubts linger over Green’s capacity at maximum strength.


The Texas Longhorns, currently ranked third, are set to face off against the Arkansas Razorbacks this weekend, fresh off of a decisive 49-17 triumph over the Florida Gators. The Longhorns, after benefitting from a second bye week in the season, appear largely healthy as they prepare for the road trip to Fayetteville. SEC regulations required the Longhorns to release an updated injury roster, and the feature is senior linebacker Mo Blackwell’s questionable status. Despite being a crucial part of Texas’ defensive rotation, Blackwell’s participation remains uncertain due to an injury incurred recently, adding to the lineup’s challenges.

Mo Blackwell stands as a vital figure in the team, following talents such as sophomore Anthony Hill and David Gbenda, a super senior. As Blackwell remains on the doubtful list for his current condition, the team’s defense strategies may face re-evaluation. Over the season, Blackwell has accumulated 21 tackles, substantiating his significance in the rotation. Another concern looms over redshirt freshman edge Colton Vasek, who missed the Florida game and is unlikely to return this week, further complicating Texas’ defensive outlook.

In contrast, Arkansas looks to field its top offensive players with hopes pinned on quarterback Taylen Green and running back Ja’Quinden Jackson. Both athletes are considered probable for the upcoming clash, offering Arkansas potential leverage. University of Arkansas Head Coach Pittman showed optimism, particularly regarding Jackson’s performance, noting his readiness throughout practice. While Pittman remains positive about Jackson’s fitness, uncertainties surround Green’s restoration to full capacity despite his potential listing as probable.

Running back Braylen Russell’s uncertain status raises additional concerns for Arkansas as they navigate these potential setbacks. The anticipated matchup brings challenges to both teams, as Texas aims to capitalize on its momentum, and Arkansas seeks to overcome injury-related limitations. As the Longhorns make their way to Fayetteville, both teams must adapt their strategies to compensate for key player absences, setting the stage for a compelling contest in the SEC lineup.
