The No. 7 Texas Longhorns are in the middle of taking on the Florida Gators, as the program is down 27-17 with under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. While another loss would be concerning for the team, the defense may have a bigger problem on its hands after Colin Simmons was carted off the field with an apparent lower-body injury.
Reports indicate that the junior edge rusher walked off the field with assistance first before hopping on a cart from the sideline to the locker room, according to Pete Nakos of On3 Sports. As of now, the severity of the injury is unknown, as Texas will evaluate the situation before sharing new details.
“Colin Simmons carted from sidelines to locker room,” Nakos recorded.
