Although defensive tackle Hero Kanu was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, Simmons and Coleman's returns would give the Longhorns a huge lift after the nation's sack leader missed two games and was limited to 18 snaps against Missouri last week and Coleman sat out the the game against the Tigers. Simmons has been out with a high ankle sprain, and Coleman hurt a shoulder against Mississippi State.

Tight end Nick Townsend was ruled out for Saturday's game along with running back Hollywood Smothers and offensive tackle Trevor Goosby, who are out for the season.

LSU's All-SEC linebacker Whit Weeks is listed at questionable while right tackle Weston Davis is probable for Saturday.
