It never feels good to see the name of your starting quarterback and the word "surgery" in the same news release.
When reports came out that Texas quarterback Arch Manning had undergone foot surgery, it caused an immediate knot in the stomachs of Longhorn fans everywhere. However, if they kept reading, they would learn that there was no need to panic.
Manning reportedly underwent a "minor foot surgery this week as a preventative measure to address a previous injury" and would be limited in off-season practices for a few weeks to follow.
Arch Manning's surgery won't affect the 2026 season
This by no means is to say that Manning will fully miss any practices this spring, over the summer, or heading into the 2026 season.
