Texas Faces Vanderbilt with Injury Concerns

Texas Longhorns wide receiver Isaiah Bond has been downgraded to doubtful for the upcoming SEC matchup against Vanderbilt due to an ankle injury sustained during a previous game against Oklahoma. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian indicated that resting Bond could be beneficial, as the team has a bye week following the Vanderbilt game. Safety Andrew Mukuba is also doubtful after a knee injury, while running back Quintrevion Wisner is listed as probable. The Longhorns aim to bounce back from their first loss of the season against Georgia, and Coach Sarkisian noted the importance of motivation for the players. Vanderbilt, having previously defeated Alabama, will be a formidable opponent, and their coach anticipates a highly motivated Texas team. The game is set to kick off on Saturday at 3:15 p.m. CT.
