Texas quarterback Arch Manning, "underwent minor foot surgery this week as a preventative measure to address a previous injury," the Longhorns announced on Friday. Manning is one of six Texas players who underwent postseason surgery, and while "he will be limited during offseason workouts," school officials said that Manning "is expected back during spring football."

The following Longhorns underwent postseason surgery for various ailments and "are expected back 100 percent healthy by the season," the school said: safety Xavier Filsaime (shoulder), offensive tackle Trevor Goosby (shoulder), wide receiver Emmett Mosley V (ankle), linebacker Ty’Anthony Smith (shoulder) and wide receiver Ryan Wingo (wrist).

Sigh 😔 

Had to get the upgrade to ludicrous speed

Glad none of our important players needed surgery. 

Great news on Emmett Mosley V who could not put pressure on his leg after the injury occurred in the Citrus Bowl,

All minor from the looks of it. 

Sana sana colita de rana! Someone light their Jesus candle too for this team!

Is this a standard thing? Do players often get minor surgery during off season? 

Thanks for the update, @Jeff Howe. It sounds like none of these surgeries were risky or have long recovery timelines.

Manning getting that Cyberpunk upgrade after the team not fixing the OL. I like it 

Wingo wrist is interesting. He had the thumb injury but I don’t remember ever hearing about wrist issues.  Seem to recall Bobby mentioning some nagging issue he was dealing with. Wonder if that was it and it led to some of the drops like in Worthy’s sophomore season.

Yes especially preventive suregeries like this. In the NFL you have guys having multiple surgeries every year and not all of them are minor like these ones are.

If guys need something cleaned up, the sooner they get it done after the season, the better.

Is Arch's foot problem turf toe?

He was injured in the bowl game.

What’s the recovery timeline on each guy? Who will be able to join spring practice?

And still took it to the house for sixty yards in a hurry. He is a tough kid. 

Place them all in bubble wrap.

Wasn't provided by the university.

 

Seems odd that they waited so long after the bowl game to get this done, especially if this is something that will hold him out of part of spring ball.

Filsaime's surgery was a week+ ago. I would assume most were.

Seems legit.

It’s not that far removed, when you think about it. The bowl game was on New Year’s Eve and with the holiday, it probably wasn’t possible for everyone to have their surgery right away.
