Texas Longhorns running back CJ Baxter has reportedly suffered an injury as the season approaches.
Baxter is set to enter his sophomore season but has already dealt with the injury bug dating back to the start of last season. He dealt with what coachcalled a "rib issue" after landing awkwardly on the ball in Texas' season-opening win over Rice last year. He played the following week against Alabama but sat out during Week 3's win over Wyoming.
Baxter started off the season as the co-starter alongside Jonathon Brooks, which showed how highly the coaching staff thought of him even as a freshman. Of course, Brooks burst onto the scene in a blink and became one of the best running backs in the country last season before tearing his ACL against TCU.
