Texas Longhorns defensive end Colin Simmons and other standout players could be unavailable for Saturday's game at Missouri, according to a report from the Austin American-Statesman. Simmons, who wears number 1, was seen in street clothes during pregame warm-ups before Texas's October 24 matchup against the Mississippi Rebels at Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin, suggesting he did not participate in that contest.
The Longhorns face the Missouri Tigers on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in what shapes up as a significant Southeastern Conference road test. The potential absence of Simmons, a prominent defensive contributor, along with other unnamed key players, could impact Texas's defensive strategy and depth for the conference clash.
