Star Texas Longhorns offensive tackle Trevor Goosby suffered a non-contact left knee injury in practice on Monday and received an MRI on Tuesday morning. There’s some good and bad news to report.
Let’s start with the good news: According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Goosby suffered a bone bruise — not a torn ligament or tendon, which is always the initial fear with a non-contact injury.
While a bone bruise is still far from ideal, it appears Goosby has avoided the worst-case scenario and could still play this season. As far as specifics are concerned, the report stated that Goosby’s return timetable “will come together in near future.”
Now for the bad news: As mentioned above, a bone bruise is not an insignificant diagnosis for the junior OT. His status for Week 2’s monster clash against Ohio State is absolutely in jeopardy. Trips to Tennessee in Week 4 and Dallas in Week 5 for the Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma also remain uncertain. We’ll know more as a timetable begins to appear across the next few days or weeks before the season.
Goosby was a first-team All-SEC selection in 2025 and primed for a monster season in 2026 as the Longhorns gear up for their run at the national title. From the jump, it looks like Texas’ depth along the O-line is going to be tested.
