Donning brace in practice
Baxter (knee) has been practicing with a brace on his knee, Joe Cook of On3.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baxter, who missed all of last season due to a knee injury, is looking close to being fully healthy but he is not quite there. He has been practicing, and logged practices on consecutive days, but he has been doing so with a brace on his recovering knee. It's unclear if he will be 100 percent when the season rolls around, but the fact that he's close is promising.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fans caught a glimpse of the 2023 five-star's ability to handle a full workload after Jonathon Brooks tore his ACL last year, and the early signs were encouraging. Baxter handled 69 rushing attempts in the final five games and ran for 330 yards (4.8) and two touchdowns to go with 13 catches on 14 targets in that span. 4.8 YPC doesn't stand out, especially when Brooks was peeling off 6.1 YPC, but it's important to remember Baxter was a true freshman. Even with Texas moving to the SEC, Baxter still profiles as an elite fantasy running back who is not only talented, but should handle the bulk of the workload for an explosive Texas offense.
