Bond has done limited football activity this week and has been focused on rehab work. He will need to significantly improve in next two days to be healthy enough to face the Tigers.

There’s more optimism that Bond will be able to return against Arizona State on Jan. 1 if Texas advances.

Bond is third among Texas receivers with 33 catches for 532 yards. He’s scored five touchdowns on the year.
