Texas pass-rusher Colin Simmons was helped off the field in the fourth quarter of Saturday's loss to Florida after suffering a leg injury.
Simmons stayed down for several minutes before limping off the field with the help of trainers. The star edge rusher spent time in the medical tent for a few minutes before being carted to the locker room.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed postgame that Simmons sustained a lower leg injury but didn't know how serious it was, according to Orangebloods' Anwar Richardson.

The 20-year-old is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. He's recorded 116 tackles and 31.5 sacks during his three-year run at Texas.
