Following the loss to Oklahoma, the Texas Longhorns are looking healthier ahead<\/a> of Saturday’s kickoff at home against the Florida Gators. <\/p>\n

Texas dealt with multiple injuries at the end of non-conference play and at the start of SEC action, but have since gotten some notable players back into the fold.<\/p>\n

That said, a member of the Texas wide receiver room has been downgraded to out two days out from Saturday’s kickoff in Austin.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns have downgraded wide receiver Kaliq Lockett from doubtful to out ahead of Saturday’s game. <\/p>\n

Additionally, offensive lineman Jordan Coleman has been upgraded to probable after missing the Oklahoma game.<\/p>\n

As for Florida, nothing has changed on the injury report, though quarterback Aaron Philo along with wide receivers Vernell Brown III and Bailey Stockton are all expected to be game-time decisions on Saturday despite still being listed as questionable. <\/p>\n

Here’s the latest injury report for Texas vs. Florida: <\/p>\n

Texas<\/p>\n

Kaliq Lockett, WR – OUT <\/p>\n

Jaydon Chatman, OL – OUT<\/p>\n

Justus Terry, DL – PROBABLE<\/p>\n

Kaliq Lockett Has Fallen Down Texas Depth Chart\"Texas<\/p>\n

Lockett was expected to be one of the breakout candidates for Texas this season after ending last year with two catches for 35 yards and a go-ahead touchdown in the Citrus Bowl against Michigan. Lockett’s performance came in a clutch moment and helped Texas pull away from the Wolverines to help secure a 10-3 record for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Though the Longhorns already had their top three receivers set with Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo and Emmett Mosley V, many fans felt there was a chance Lockett could compete for the No. 4 spot with Jermaine Bishop Jr., Daylan McCutcheon and Sterling Berkhalter. <\/p>\n

Instead, he’s hardly played this season and has just one catch for -3 yards.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Lockett will be a late bloomer and could have an impact next season. It doesn’t seem like he has a role in store this year barring multiple injuries to wide receivers ahead of him on the depth chart.<\/p>\n

Texas and Florida will kick off from Austin on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT. Both teams will be looking to rebound from losses.<\/p>\n
