Texas quarterback Arch Manning suffered a concussion during overtime in the Longhorns’ 45-38 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday night. Reports indicate that Manning’s head hit the turf after a 13-yard scramble. Following the game, coach Steve Sarkisian provided no immediate updates, stating, “we’ll find out more when we get back to Austin”.

As per Horns247, Manning is scheduled to be reevaluated on Sunday, with Sarkisian expected to offer an update during Monday’s press conference.

Manning managed to pierce Mississippi State’s defense during overtime and was subsequently tackled by safety Isaac Smith and defensive lineman Kedrick Bingley-Jones as they brought him down from behind. Despite the injury, he led his team effectively in the game’s final moments.

The protocol for returning from a concussion is governed by the team’s physician, as outlined in university’s concussion management plan, which includes comprehensive assessments and monitoring of the athlete’s recovery.

This week’s first availability report regarding Manning and the Vanderbilt game will be released on Wednesday, with daily status updates anticipated leading to the game.

Texas stands at 6-2 overall and goes into a crucial matchup against the 10th-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores next weekend. Winning the remaining games could secure a third consecutive playoff appearance for the Longhorns.
