Texas quarterback Arch Manning was not listed on the SEC’s harm report launched Friday night time, clearing the way in which for him to start out Saturday in opposition to No. 9 Vanderbilt in Austin.
Manning spent the week in concussion protocol after he was injured on the primary play of extra time in No. 20 Texas’ 45-38 win over Mississippi State on Saturday. He was listed as questionable on the Longhorns’ harm report Wednesday and Thursday nights.
On Thursday, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian stated they must wait to see if Manning, who returned to follow Wednesday, was cleared by crew medical doctors.
“I haven’t got something past for Arch simply because we now have to observe the protocol of the times and the reps, however he is making good progress,” Sarkisian stated.
Matthew Caldwell, a graduate switch from Troy, got here in and threw the profitable landing in opposition to Mississippi State final week.
Earlier than being shaken up, Manning performed his finest sport of the season in opposition to the Bulldogs, throwing for 346 yards and three touchdowns, together with 169 passing yards within the fourth quarter, as Texas rallied from 17 factors down.
Texas (6-2, 3-1 within the SEC) and Vanderbilt (7-1, 3-1) meet Saturday at midday ET on ABC.
