Charlie Tanner

[Mr. Longhorn]

I know that they don't comment on injuries anymore, but I never caught any news or updates. Someone told me that he was carted into the locker room. Did I totally miss that?

He was carted off in I believe the third quarter (maybe second?). It has been reported that he has a sprained ankle. I haven't heard anything about his availability for the UTEP game, although he's listed as a co-starter with Michael Huey at Left Guard. So hopefully he'll be good to go.

Britt Mitchell is also listed as back up right tackle, which is good news b/c he had to be helped off the field as well.

Hopefully both Charlie and Britt, as well as Fozzy and all other guys who've been banged up will be able to play against UTEP.

WHEW!!! So glad he seems to be okay. Don't rush it. Sometimes ankles can be very sensitive and given the size of that young man, it may take more to get it solid. They are prone to re-injury so it is better to get more than less rehab.

I wouldn't see any need to play banged up players against UTEP. We have plenty of depth on OL to play backups and move guys around if needed. Let the guy stay in Austin and get healthy if needed.
