The Texas Longhorns are dealing with some major injury questions before visiting Missouri in Columbia on Saturday.

The final injury report released Friday night shed some light on the status of some key Texas players, including multiple starters.

UPGRADED TO PROBABLE: CB Kade Phillips, WR Ryan Wingo, CB Graceson Littleton

REMAINS QUESTIONABLE: DE Colin Simmons, WR Cam Coleman

RULED OUT: RB Hollywood Smothers, OL Trevor Goosby, TE Nick Townsend, DE Richard Wesley

Will Colin Simmons Play?

According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, Simmons traveled with the team to Columbia and will test out his ankle injury during pregame warmups.

If he plays, Simmons is expected to be on a pitch count. It truly looks like he will be a game-time decision.

Simmons has missed the past two games and the expectation was that he could return against Missouri but that remains to be seen.

Steve Sarkisian Confident If Other Players Need to Step Up

If Littleton or Phillips are unable to play, freshman cornerback Samari Matthews would be one of the players expected to step up.

Should that happen, Sarkisian is confident in what he brings to the table.

"Samari, he's a really mature guy," Sarkisian said. "He kind of reminds me of a of a younger Graceson Littleton that way with the mindset, football is important to him. He works at his craft. He's humble enough to know what he doesn't know, and he's willing to be coached. He has a physical presence about him."
