Jordan Whittington injury: Sitting out again Sunday

Texas Longhorns' No. 1 receiver battling mysterious injury

Whittington injured left ankle during practice leading up to Alabama game

Texas Longhorns wide receiver Jordan Whittington will miss his second straight game when the team takes on the West Virginia Mountaineers on Sunday. Whittington has been battling a left ankle injury that he suffered during practice leading up to the Alabama game.

This is a big blow to the Longhorns, as Whittington is one of their most talented and experienced receivers. He led the team in receiving yards last season and was expected to be a key part of the offense this year.

In Whittington's absence, sophomore Xavier Worthy will likely start at wide receiver. Worthy is a talented player in his own right, but he is still relatively inexperienced.

The Longhorns will need to find a way to replace Whittington's production if they want to be successful this season. They will need other receivers to step up and make plays.

Whittington's injury is a reminder that football is a physical game and that injuries can happen at any time. The Longhorns will need to be prepared to deal with injuries throughout the season.
