According to sources, Ewers will return to the field against Oklahoma on Saturday after missing the last month with a shoulder injury.
He is expected to start against the Sooners on Saturday in Dallas.
This is the first time that Ewers has been healthy enough to play since he injured his ankle. Sources say that Ewers has been a full participant in practice all week.
His return is in line with the original four- to six-week timetable after he suffered a serious injury against Alabama.
The return of Ewers gives Texas another potent offensive weapon. He will play with Texas tailback Bijan Robinson, who is the consensus top NFL draft prospect at the position, and a sophomore who is one of the country's most dangerous wide receiver.
The Oklahoma defense was eviscerated by TCU last week and is currently ranked No.109 in total defense. The Sooners gave up 668 yards to the Frogs, who scored 41 points in the first half. Oklahoma is ranked in the top 120 in rushing defense.
Ewers will return to the field for the first time since he flashed a glimpse of the talent that made him the No. 1 quarterback recruit in the Class of 2022.
After throwing for 134 yards in the first quarter, Ewers was knocked out of the game on a hit from Alabama's Dallas Turner. The 134 yards were the fourth most in the first quarter of the game.
In the Longhorns' opener against Louisiana-Monroe, Ewers threw a pair of touchdown passes.
