Was told by friend that IT reported Ben Davis has a broken foot...

Is this accurate ??

 

Found answer... Thanks to @Big Woodrows

Bad news: Senior transfer outside linebacker Ben Davis broke a bone in his foot and will be out of service for 6-8 weeks. While it hurts he won’t be able to get in conditioning work and will miss some of August practice, it also hurts that it’ll be tougher for him to help entrench the type of culture the staff is trying to cultivate.

From an understanding of scheme standpoint, this shouldn’t affect Davis much and when healthy he’ll be able to return as soon as he’s in football shape. He’s said to be a pretty quick study.

Update found by @BurntOrange&White 

Eric and Justin
We previously reported Ben Davis might miss a significant portion of camp. He broke a toe in multiple places from what we’ve heard but he’s ahead of schedule and might be available for the start of camp. He’s expected to be out of his walking boot in two weeks. Players report on August 5th and there’s a good chance he’ll at least be a partial participant.

Clearly this would be big news. Davis is a need on the field and he’s also a key member of the enforcement arm for new regime culture.

Texas enters fall camp with predominantly healthy roster

ByTAYLOR ESTES 14 hours ago

AUSTIN, Texas — The Longhorns will soon begin fall camp as Texas football prepares for the official start of the Steve Sarkisian era on the Forty Acres. Texas will kick off preseason training camp this Friday and have a nearly 100 percent healthy roster entering the first practice of fall camp with only two players who will start practice in a limited capacity.

Grad transfer linebacker Ben Davis and grad transfer running back Gabriel Watson will be limited early on in preseason training camp though neither player is viewed as having a serious concern, according to Sarkisian.

"Gabe Watson and Ben Davis will be limited to start camp," Sarkisian said Thursday. "Neither of them are seriously out, but we need to monitor them here early on in camp, which is important. But everybody else is good to go."

While Sarkisian did not go into details about either player's specific injury, Horns247 previously reported that Davis suffered a toe injury during summer workouts and was expected to spend six to eight weeks in a walking boot.

The injury update is a positive development for Texas after several players missed spring football while recovering from various injuries. The Longhorns will welcome the return of the players who missed spring practice and the spring game due to injury, including punter Ryan Bujcevski (knee), offensive lineman Rafiti Ghirmai (hamstring), linebacker Derrick Harris (knee), wide receiver Dajon Harrison (ankle), linebacker Jaden Hullaby (knee), offensive lineman Derek Kerstetter (ankle), tight end Brayden Liebrock (shoulder), deep snapper Justin Mader (shoulder), linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (shoulder) and defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat (shoulder).

Ghirmai, Harrison and Hullaby sustained injuries during spring practice, while Bujcevski, Harris (injured his senior year of high school prior to enrolling early), Kerstetter, Liebrock, Mader, Overshown and Sweat's injuries came prior to the start of spring ball.

Texas will also have redshirt freshman wide receiver Troy Omeire (ACL) at full capacity after he tore his ACL during last year's fall camp and subsequently missed the entire 2020 season. While Omeire did go through spring ball with the Longhorns, he participated in a limited role throughout spring practice and in the Orange-White spring game.

The Longhorns will spend the next month getting ready for the 2021 football season as they make their way through their first preseason training camp under Sarkisian and his staff.

"I think we had a really good summer. I think our strength and conditioning staff and our players worked extremely hard here for about eight weeks and put our team in position to now go compete in training camp," Sarkisian said Thursday.

"I don't by any means believe we're a finished product yet. That's why we need these weeks leading up to our first ball game to get ourselves prepared to play the best of our capability. And that's what we'll do."
