"Texas Tech defensive tackle Skyler Gill-Howard underwent ankle surgery on Thursday in Dallas and is out indefinitely, sources confirmed to ESPN. Gill-Howard, a Northern Illinois transfer who has been a standout for the No. 7 Red Raiders and one of the top defenses in college football, suffered the injury during their win over Kansas last Saturday. The injury has not been determined to be a season-ending one at this time, sources told ESPN, and there's hope Gill-Howard could return for the postseason."
"The 6-foot-1, 290-pound senior has played in six games and has recorded 13 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and an interception that he returned 55 yards for a touchdown against Kent State. Texas Tech has the No. 1 run defense in FBS at 62.5 rushing yards per game and the No. 6 scoring defense, allowing 12.2 points per game. Houston transfer A.J. Holmes Jr. is expected to replace Gill-Howard in the starting lineup, sources told ESPN,"
