The Texas Longhorns are beginning to get healthier as the regular season comes to a close.

According to the Thursday edition of the Week 12 SEC Injury Report, linebacker Morice Blackwell and defensive end Colton Vasek have both been upgraded to probable, after appearing as questionable on Wednesday.

However, there is still one key Longhorns playmaker who remains in question for the game - wideout DeAndre Moore, who has been listed as questionable for the second straight day.

Over the last few weeks, Moore has been one of the Longhorns' top pass catchers, hauling in 20 catches for 263 yards and five touchdowns.

And Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian remains hopeful that Moore will see the field vs. the Wildcats.

"He's progressing this week," Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said of Moore Jr. during Wednesday's SEC Weekly Teleconference. "We'll see if he'll be ready to go here Saturday, but we're surely a better team when he's out there."
