Texas (3-0) led 14-0 when Ewers left with what coach Steve Sarkisian described as a strained abdomen. Arch Manning came in and kept the momentum flowing for the Longhorns.
Ewers, a Southlake Carroll product, will likely miss Texas’ matchup with Lousiana-Monroe this week.
Ewers has missed several games the last two seasons with injuries. He gained attention as a Heisman Trophy contender after Texas’ big road win at defending national champion Michigan. He was 14 of 16 passing for 165 yards and two touchdowns and one interception against UTSA before the injury.
