COLUMBIA, Mo. - Although All-American edge rusher Colin Simmons remains a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Missouri, Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff delivered some good news to Longhorn fans on Saturday's final availability report.

Wide receiver Ryan Wingo was removed from the injury list along with cornerback Kade Phillips and slot corner Graceson Littleton. All of those players landed on the injury report earlier in the week.

Wide receiver Cam Coleman joins Simmons as a game-time decision. Running back Hollywood Smothers, offensive tackle Trevor Goosby, tight end Nick Townsend and edge rusher Richard Wesley are each listed as out. Goosby has already been declared out for the season following knee surgery.

Simmons leads the NCAA entering Saturday with 10.5 sacks despite missing each of Texas' last two games with a high-ankle sprain, and Coleman leads the team with seven touchdown receptions.
