He suffered a foot\/turf toe injury during warmups against Ohio State, forcing him out of that contest and the next two games against UTSA and Tennessee. Wearing a walking boot, he&#8217;s had to watch from the sidelines. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6t\">On the initial injury report for Texas&#8217; matchup with Oklahoma on Saturday, Terry was listed as doubtful but was upgraded to questionable leading into the weekend. He was then upgraded to a game-time decision on Saturday morning. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6y\">Terry suited up for pregame warmups before kickoff against Oklahoma. However, fans were left with more questions than answers once the game started.<\/p>\n<p>Justus Terry Suited Up But Appears Inactive vs. Oklahoma<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01m4knxcjg22aw09gqrc.jpg\" alt=\"Texas Longhorns defensive lineman Justus Terry\" title=\"Texas Longhorns defensive lineman Justus Terry\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"7f\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Texas Longhorns defensive lineman Justus Terry (15) arrives at the stadium before the game between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Bowl.  | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7l\">Terry remained suited up once the game started but he didn&#8217;t play in the first half against the Sooners.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7q\">On multiple defensive possessions, he was seen on the sideline without his helmet, not a good sign for his availability. Perhaps Texas plans to use him as an emergency option on the defensive line if other players were to go down with injury.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7v\">It appears Terry is still a week away from playing notable snaps again.
