Quinn Ewers injury: Social media reacts to big hit on Texas QB
Published:
Quinn Ewers took a big hit in the first quarter of the game in Week 2, and he looked to be potentially out for the remainder of the contest against Alabama.
Ewers was trying to escape Alabama’s pass rush by throwing the ball away to the back of the end zone. Alabama’s Dallas Turner crowded Ewers, who went down his left shoulder with Turner on top of him. Ewers had a strong game leading up to the injury, going 9-for-12 for 134 yards.
For his part, Turner was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for driving the quarterback into the ground. While Ewers walked off the field under his own power, he then headed to the locker room with a towel over his head for further evaluation.
Fans reacted to the hit on Saturday on social media:

Brutal hit for the #Longhorns. Looks to be out of the game. Collarbone or AC joint injury. Hate to see this. Quinn Ewers was playing absolutely awesome. @TexasFootball pic.twitter.com/cgmqd8uWKH

Texas QB Quinn Ewers headed to the locker room following a short trip to the medical tent following his injury. Have to hope for the best for the young quarterback #HookEm

Texas is looking to upset 20.5-point favorite Alabama, and are tied at 10-10 early in the second quarter. We’ll see if the Longhorns can keep up the momentum without Ewers.
