Texas Sack Leader Colin Simmons Leaves Florida Game Injured

Texas star pass rusher Colin Simmons suffered an apparent right leg injury in the fourth quarter against Florida and was helped off the field before being taken by cart for further evaluation. The injury occurred with the game tied 17-17, and his status remained unclear. Simmons had recorded a sack in the game, bringing his season total to 10.5 and keeping him among the nation’s sack leaders. An extended absence would be a major setback for the Longhorns’ defense, where he leads the team in sacks by a wide margin.
