AUSTIN, Texas — A reeling Texas secondary could be missing two key members on Saturday when the 15th-ranked Longhorns hit the road to take on TCU. Following Thursday’s practice, head coach Tom Herman said starting safeties B.J. Foster and DeMarvion Overshown are going to be game-time decisions before Texas (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) faces the Horned Frogs (3-3, 1-2) at Fort Worth’s Amon Carter Stadium.

Foster and Overshown were limited in practice throughout the week. Both could be seen on the practice field wearing green non-contact jerseys

Foster was checked out for “anything and everything” Herman said Monday, less than 48 hours after the sophomore didn’t look like his usual self in a 50-48 win over Kansas where he finished with three tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss. Whatever is ailing the former 247Sports Composite five-star prospect could be related to a stinger he suffered early in the team’s 34-27 loss to Oklahoma on Oct. 12.

Overshown, who finished the Kansas game with five tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and broke up a pass came out of the win over the Jayhawks was complaining about shoulder pain in Sunday’s practice. Herman said Overshown’s situation worsened overnight and on Monday the head coach said the former 247Sports five-star prospect was sent to the medical staff “for all the normal tests.”

If Foster and/or Overshown are unable to play on Saturday, Herman said the plan is to start redshirt sophomore Montrell Estell and true freshman Tyler Owens at the safety positions with Brandon Jones likely to man the nickel position.
