AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Texas quarterback Arch Manning was \u201cmaking good progress\u201d in practice, coach Steve Sarkisian said Thursday, but his status to return from a concussion<\/a> in time to play against No. 9<\/a> Vanderbilt was still uncertain.<\/p>\n

Manning has been in concussion protocol since being injured at the beginning of overtime in No. 20 Texas\u2019 45-38 win<\/a> over Mississippi State last week. Backup Matthew Caldwell came on to throw the winning touchdown as Texas rallied from 17 points down in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Manning spent the week in Texas\u2019 concussion protocol, and he returned to practice Wednesday. He was listed as questionable on the team\u2019s Wednesday night injury report to the Southeastern Conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have anything beyond for Arch just because we have to follow the protocol of the days and the reps, but he\u2019s making good progress,\u201d Sarkisian said.<\/p>\n

If Manning can\u2019t play, Caldwell will start. He is a graduate transfer from Troy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t changed anything that we\u2019ve done,\u201d Sarkisian said. \u201cThe game plan is the game plan. All of his teammates have confidence in Matt if it\u2019s his time to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manning has passed for 1,795 yards and 15 touchdowns. A preseason favorite<\/a> for the Heisman Trophy, Manning struggled for much of the early season but played his best game against Mississippi State with 346 yards passing and three touchdowns. He passed for 169 yards in the final quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Texas quarterback Arch Manning was \u201cmaking good progress\u201d in practice, coach Steve Sarkisian said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29056,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[2901,555,557,132,134,133,416,223,154,27,19634],"class_list":["post-29055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-app-college-sports","tag-app-sports","tag-associated-press","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-college-sports","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-texas","tag-ut-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
