AUSTIN – Texas senior safety Jason Hall left Saturday’s fall scrimmage with an injury to the head/neck area, Tom Herman said.

“(Hall) got dinged up after about 20 or 30 plays, so they took him in,” Herman said. “Neck [or] head, something. “They haven’t examined him enough to say whether it’s a concussion or not.”

Herman, who said the play “didn’t register with” him when asked if he saw specifically what happened, said the injury occurred when Hall hit someone.

“He likes to hit people,” Herman said.

An injury is not what Hall, who has appeared in 35 games with 28 starts over three season, needed coming off a spring where the coaches saw very little of him on the field. Hall’s spring was cut short due to a leg injury, a setback that (along with Dylan Haines graduating and opening up a starting spot) paved the way for DeShon Elliott and Brandon Jones to make their way into the starting lineup.

Hall has been working as a backup safety along with redshirt freshman Chris Brown. It’s unclear how much practice time Hall will miss from the injury, but if he’s forced to miss time it will likely be either true freshman Montrell Estell, walk-on Jamarquis Durst or possibly John Bonney (who has been working at cornerback early in camp) taking Hall’s place with the No. 2 defense).

The good news is outside of Hall’s injury, Herman said the Longhorns came out of Saturday’s scrimmage healthy as far as he knew.

“Other than that I think everybody came out healthy,” Herman said.
