Texas star quarterback Quinn Ewers’ availability is week-to-week because of an oblique strain, and he is likely to miss the next game for the new No. 1 Longhorns, ESPN reported Sunday afternoon.

Texas hosts ULM this Saturday, then opens Southeastern Conference play against visiting Mississippi State on Sept. 28. Then after an off week, Texas faces No. 15 Oklahoma on Oct. 12 in Dallas and hosts No. 2 Georgia on Oct. 19.

Orangebloods.com first reported Ewers’ playing status.

Ewers exited Saturday’s 56-7 victory over UTSA early in the second quarter due to a strained abdomen, coach Steve Sarkisian said.

Highly regarded backup Arch Manning replaced Ewers and he accounted for five touchdowns (four passing, one rushing) for the then-No. 2 Longhorns. Manning completed 9 of 12 passes for 223 yards.

Ewers completed 14 of 16 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and one interception before exiting.

“Quinn has an oblique strain, an abdomen strain,” Sarkisian said after the game. “It remains to be seen, you know, the seriousness of that or the length of that, but that’s what it is. We don’t think it’s anything structural or broken — it was an odd play. But again, that gave Arch an opportunity to get some valuable playing time and experience.”

Ewers threw for 3,479 yards and 22 touchdowns against six interceptions last season while leading Texas to a Big 12 championship and College Football Playoff appearance.
