Texas Star Edge Rusher Colin Simmons Leaves Game Against Florida with Apparent Leg Injury
Trainers helped the Texas standout off the field after he appeared to injure his leg, and ESPN later showed him leaving on a cart.
- On Saturday, Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons suffered an apparent right ankle injury early in the fourth quarter against Florida at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, requiring assistance off the field and eventual transport via cart.
- Entering the contest with a nation-leading 9.5 sacks, Simmons recorded his 10th sack of the season before the injury forced him to exit with eight total tackles, four for loss, and two quarterback hits.
- The Longhorns held a 17-3 lead earlier, but the Florida Gators tied the game at 17-17 in the second half, gaining offensive momentum when Simmons went down on a blocker engagement.
- It remains unclear what specific injury Simmons sustained or whether he will miss games, with fans awaiting an official update from Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian on the severity.
- Simmons has now tallied 10.5 sacks this season after the injury; he previously overcame a lower-body injury to record a career-high 5.5 sacks against Tennessee, showing resilience in his three-year Texas career.
