Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers sustained a sprained left clavicle during Saturday’s 20-19 loss against top-ranked Alabama,

Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian said he didn’t know the severity of the injury. He said Ewers will undergo an MRI exam.

Ewers was injured late in the first quarter when he was driven to the turf on a late hit by Alabama’s Dallas Turner after throwing the ball away out of the end zone.

Ewers remained down on the ground as his non-throwing shoulder was looked at by trainers. He eventually was taken to the locker room for further evaluation.

Turner was flagged for roughing the passer.

Ewers was off to a stellar start by completing 9 of 12 passes for 134 yards in his second career start. A Texas native, he is a transfer from Ohio State.

Hudson Card replaced Ewers and Texas tied the game at 10 two plays later on Bijan Robinson’s 1-yard run on the opening play of the second quarter.

Ewers returned to the field out of uniform in the third quarter and was sporting a sling.

Card, who was visibly limping through much of the second half but stayed in the game, finished 14 of 22 for 158 yards.
