The Texas Longhorns avoided a worst-case scenario when star redshirt junior left tackle Trevor Goosby was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee after sustaining an injury in practice on Monday evening, according to reports from ESPN and On3.
The news broke early in the morning from Orangebloods that the 6'7, 325-pounder had suffered an injury of unknown severity pending the MRI that ultimately revealed the bone bruise.
There is not currently a timetable for Goosby's return as the healing time for bone bruises can fluctuate, according to On3's Pete Nakos. In recent years, NFL players who have suffered similar injuries returned on varying timetables ranging from several practices to three games. With the season opener against Texas State now in two and a half weeks, even the longer timetable could allow Goosby to return for the high-profile matchup against No. 1 Ohio State in Austin on Sept. 12, 25 days away.
A preseason first-team All-SEC selection who is projected as one of the top tackles in the 2027 NFL Draft class, Goosby is one of the most important players on the team, ***** igned to protect the blind side of redshirt junior quarterback Arch Manning, something that the Melissa product did at an elite level in 2025, his first season as a starter — Goosby only allowed three sacks and three quarterback hits, according to Pro Football Focus, and graded out even better as a run blocker.
If Goosby does have to sit out early in the season, Texas may have to shuffle its offensive line to get the five best players on the field.
