Brent Venables Updates Oklahoma's Injury Situation for Saturday's SMU Game
NORMAN — Oklahoma coach Brent Venables is unable to offer much of an update on players injured in Saturday’s 73-0 win over Arkansas State.
Senior wide receiver Drake Stoops, senior quarterback Davis Beville and sophomore linebacker Dasan McCullough all went down with various ailments.
During his weekly news conference on Monday at the OU Stadium Club, Venables was asked to provide a little clarity towards their availability for this week’s 5 p.m. game against SMU.
“Don't know anything different today,” Venables said. “I don't have any idea whether or not those guys will be available.
“Dasan, we worried initially might be a high (ankle) sprain component and doesn't look like that's the case at all.
“And Drake was ready to go back in the game on Saturday.
“Davis, yeah, he might be another week or so. The issue for him is ankle sprain, probably a high component there.”
The Sooners and Mustangs meet Saturday night at Memorial Stadium in a non-conference game that was originally scheduled to be the two-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs, but was altered after OU joined the SEC.
