But fortunately for UT, the school got good news on Sunday when it was revealed that Ewers is listed as week-to-week and could return after next weekend’s game against Louisiana Monroe, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
“There’s no set timetable for a return, but optimism after consulting with doctors the last 24 hours,” Thamel said. “Orangebloods first reported the week to week diagnosis.”

The non-contact injury happened in the second quarter of Saturday’s game. Ewers had completed 14-of-16 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and an interception before leaving the game and giving way to sophomore QB Arch Ma nning.In relief, Manning, the nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, light up the UTSA secondary. The 19-year-old signal-caller threw for 223 yards and four touchdowns, and he added a 67-yard rushing touchdown as well.

Ewers missed two games last season with an AC-joint injury to his throwing shoulder. After missing wins over BYU and then-No. 23-ranked Kansas State, Ewers returned to lead the Longhorns to wins over Iowa State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State before they fell 37-31 to Washington in the College Football Playoff semifinal.

After Saturday’s game, Manning (+1600) actually had higher odds to win the Heisman Trophy than Ewers, who entered the week as the Heisman favorite with +500 odds but dropped off the board completely after exiting the UTSA game according to DraftK ings
