Cam Coleman, the dynamic wide receiver for Texas, is officially cleared to play in Saturday’s massive road trip to face No. 21 LSU. This is a huge boost for the Longhorns, who get perhaps their best player on offense back on the field for a critical SEC battle. Fans have been tracking his status closely, and this news changes everything for the upcoming game.
Coleman Back in the Mix After Shoulder Aggravation
Coleman’s return is a game-changer. He didn’t even play last week in the 34-20 win over No. 22 Missouri after aggravating a shoulder injury the previous week against Mississippi State. Missing him against Missouri was a tough pill, but seeing him off the availability report for LSU means the Longhorns are getting a major weapon back just when they need him most. Getting a player of his caliber back, especially after an injury that kept him out a full game, shows just how much healthier this team is trending.
Simmons Cleared, Other Injuries Persist for the Longhorns
It’s not just Coleman getting good news. Edge rusher Colin Simmons, the SEC sack leader, is also off the availability report. He was questionable last week for Missouri, played only 18 snaps, and didn’t record a sack or tackle, so seeing him fully cleared is another positive. The injury report isn’t totally clean, though. Texas will be without running back Hollywood Smothers, Trevor Goosby, Nick Townsend, and Richard Wesley for Saturday’s contest. Plus, defensive tackle Hero Kanu, a fifth-year man, is questionable with a torn bicep suffered against Missouri, although Horns247 reported he plans to play through it. Still, compared to last week, the Longhorns are absolutely trending in the right direction on the health front.
This Saturday, Texas hits the road to face No. 21 LSU, and having Coleman back, along with Simmons, makes this team even more dangerous. After a solid win last week, the Longhorns are looking to keep that momentum going in a crucial SEC matchup. We’ll be watching to see the impact Coleman has back on the field.
