Wide receiver Emmett Mosley V, who is dealing with an ongoing leg injury, is expected to be available to play but in a limited capacity when the No. 1 Texas Longhorns kick off the season Saturday against No. 3 Ohio State, according to multiple reports Friday.

Mosley, a sophomore transfer Stanford, is not expected to start or play a significant number of snaps in Saturday's game against the host Buckeyes, ESPN reported Friday.

Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters on Wednesday that Mosley has been dealing with the lower leg injury since he arrived in Texas after transferring in April from Stanford, where he caught 48 passes for 525 yards and six touchdowns in his freshman season.

'We've just tried to be cautious with it. Quite frankly, even going back into July, I didn't want this to linger all season long,' Sarkisian said. 'So we've been cautious with him. I feel like he's in a really good place right now, which is a positive for us.'

Redshirt freshman Parker Livingstone and true freshman Jaime Ffrench Jr. should see more playing time given Mosley's injury. The former has been taking first-team reps in Mosley's absence, per CBS.
