Texas Clears Several Starters for LSU, Kanu Listed Questionable

No. 6 Texas will travel to face No. 21 LSU at Tiger Stadium on November 14, with several key players no longer carrying injury designations on the Longhorns’ initial injury update ahead of the game. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT.

Defensive lineman Hero Kanu is the only Texas player listed on the update apart from those already expected to miss the rest of the season. Kanu was hurt in the Longhorns’ win over Missouri and is questionable against LSU. He is expected to attempt to play despite the pain.

Texas lists no injury designation for wide receivers Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo, defensive end Colin Simmons, or cornerbacks Kade Phillips and Graceson Littleton. Their availability is a boost for Texas after several recent weeks of injury concerns.

Tight end Nick Townsend, offensive tackle Trevor Goosby and running back Hollywood Smothers are all out for the season. Defensive end Richard Wesley will also miss the LSU game. Texas could have another opportunity to update Wesley’s status before its home finale against Arkansas next week.
