The conference will update the report on Thursday and Friday and again on Saturday, releasing the final injury report 90 minutes before kickoff.Ewers isn't the only impact player slated to return. Sophomore safety <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/derek-williams-jr-46102611/">Derek Williams Jr.</a>, who has missed the last two contests with a hamstring injury, was also listed as probable.The injury forced Williams to miss the 51-3 win over Louisiana-Monroe and the Longhorns' SEC opener, a 35-13 win over <a href="https://247sports.com/college/mississippi-state/">Mississippi State</a>.The 6-foot-2-inch, 195-pound sophomore hasn't played since the Longhorns demolished <a href="https://247sports.com/college/utsa/">UTSA</a><a href="https://247sports.com/college/michigan/">Michigan</a> on Sept. 7.In three games, Williams has seven tackles and recorded his first career interception against the Wolverines.The most notable name on Wednesday's injury report was true freshman punter Michael Kern. Kern has only punted 11 times through five games, averaging 42.8 yards per punt, totaling 471 yards with his top outing statistically being a four-punt game in the win over UTSA.The 6-foot-3-inch, 195-pounder has been the primary punter. Sophomore Ian Ratliff is listed as the reserve punter on the game-day flip card Texas (5-0, 1-0 SEC) distributes to the media. The program hasn't released a depth chart before the game throughout the season (the first depth chart coming out hours before the season opener against <a href="https://247sports.com/college/colorado-state/">Colorado State</a>).In addition to Kern, deep snapper <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/tate-haver-46135180/">Tate Haver</a> and running back Colin Page were listed as questionable. Neither player was active for the Mississippi State game on Sept. 28.Running back <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/velton-gardner-93784/">Velton Gardner</a>, who was added to the roster late in fall camp following season-ending injuries to backs <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/CJ-Baxter-46098809">CJ Baxter</a> and <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/Christian-Clark-46138352">Christian Clark</a>, is out for the second consecutive game. Gardner wasn't on the sideline during the win over the Bulldogs.Saturday's game is the first time since 1984 that the Longhorns will enter the Oklahoma (4-1, 1-1) game as the nation's top-ranked team.The 120th meeting against the Sooners will see the Longhorns take the field at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas as two-touchdown favorites. While the game might look like two unevenly matched teams with a blowout likely to occur, nine of the last 11 meetings in the series programs have been decided by one score or less.Texas has a 63-51-5 series lead over Oklahoma. However, the Sooners have won five of the last six meetings, going 4-0 in games decided by one score or less, including last season's 34-30 defeat of the Longhorns when the Sooners scored the game-winning touchdown with 15 seconds remaining in regulation.The last win in the series for Texas was a historic pummeling of Oklahoma in 2022, 49-0.</div></body>
