Is Quinn Ewers playing today vs Georgia? Texas quarterback status explored

Quinn Ewers and the Texas Longhorns are preparing for their SEC Championship Game on Saturday against the Georgia Bulldogs. Quarterback Ewers has been banged up a bit this season, so it will be interesting to see if he suits up under center.

Ewers has had a solid 2024 season as the Longhorns appear to be locked into one of the College Football Playoff spots, regardless of this game's outcome. He has completed 206-of-306 (67.3%) of his passes for 2,307 yards, with 24 passing touchdowns to seven interceptions, also running 36 times for -35 yards (-1.0 yards per carry) with one rushing touchdown.

Let's take a deeper dive into Ewers' injury and discuss his status for this pivotal SEC Championship Game.

Quinn Ewers injury update

Ewers is dealing with an ankle sprain suffered in the victory over the Kentucky Wildcats.

While he's not expected to be at 100 percent, he has been playing through the injury, including during last week's game against the Texas A&M Aggies. Ewers appeared on the SEC injury report and was listed as probable.

What happened to Quinn Ewers?

Ewers suffered a high-ankle sprain two weeks ago, but the play from which he suffered the injury isn't known. The injury could hamper his ability to play at the level he's expected of in the most important game of the season for the Longhorns.

When will Quinn Ewers return?

Ewers isn't expected to miss this game and hasn't missed any time due to the high-ankle sprain he suffered two weeks ago. He's going to be getting closer to 100 percent, another week further from suffering the injury, against the Bulldogs defense.

With the expectation that Ewers is going to be playing at a better level than last week, it will be intriguing to see how he does the second time this season against the Bulldogs.
