According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Ewers is “week-to-week: with no timetable for a return to game action. Ewers will not play this week against LA-Monroe. It will be interesting to see if Ewers can return for the Week 5 matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
With Ewers sidelined for this week, Arch Manning will most likely be the starting quarterback for Texas. Everyone will be excited to watch him play. Manning caught the attention of others when he came in relief for Quinn Ewers on Saturday night. He is the son of Cooper Manning. Peyton Manning and Eli Manning also had effective NFL careers as well.

It will be interesting to see if Ewers misses more than one game. It could also affect his NFL Draft stock in the long run.
If Quinn Ewers only misses one game, it will be interesting to see if head coach Steve Sarkisian will give him back the starting job. For now, all eyes are on Arch Manning to get the job done. He is going to be in the spotlight in the SEC Conference for at least the next week if not longer. The fan reactions will be interesting to see when Ewers returns from injury.
