The Texas Longhorns could be without defensive end Colin Simmons and other key players for their Saturday matchup against Missouri, according to a report from the Austin American-Statesman.
Simmons, a standout defensive end, was seen walking out for warmups in street clothes ahead of Texas' previous game against Mississippi on October 24, raising concerns about his availability. The Longhorns travel to face Missouri on Saturday, November 8, 2026, in a Southeastern Conference contest.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian has not officially ruled out Simmons or other unspecified standouts, but their potential absence would test Texas' depth on the defensive line. Missouri will look to capitalize on any lineup changes as both teams jockey for position in the SEC standings.
