Texas football freshman wide receiver Parker Livingstone had to be helped off the field against Florida after sustaining an apparent leg injury.
The injury occurred in the second quarter of the Longhorns’ road game in Gainesville, at the conclusion of a 33-yard reception on second-and-8. He took a hit to his leg from Florida defensive back Devin Moore.
He was helped off the field with the help of several Longhorns trainers. He returned to the field in the winding minutes of the first half on his own power after a further evaluation in the locker room.
Before he exited the field, Livingston reeled in his second catch of the day of at least 14 yards. He currently leads all Texas receivers with two catches for 47 receiving yards, as Texas trails Florida 19-7 in the second quarter.
Entering Saturday’s game vs. Florida, Livingstone led Texas with 232 receiving yards and was tied with Ryan Wingo for a team-leading three touchdown receptions.

Parker Livingstone injury update
Livingston sustained an apparent leg injury in the second quarter of Texas’ Week 6 road game at Florida at the conclusion of a 33-yard catch down the field. As Livingston made the catch, he took a hit to his kneecap area from a Florida defender that caused him to flip in the air.
He was helped off the field by members of Texas’ medical staff back to the Longhorns bench where it looked like he was limping and in some noticeable pain.
After being taken back to the Longhorns’ locker room at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Livingstone was seen walking back to Texas’ bench on his own power. According to several reports on X (formerly Twitter), Livingstone has not yet been given back his helmet as he stands on the sidelines.
