Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables provided an optimistic injury update ahead of the Sooners’ upcoming game. Both wide receiver Nic Anderson and offensive lineman Geirean Hatchett, who have been dealing with injuries, are expected to make significant progress. Venables expressed hope that both players will be ready for game action, highlighting the team’s confidence in their recovery for the Missouri matchup. This would be a boost for the Sooners as they prepare for their next test.
Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables indicated optimism for the return of receivers Deion Burks and Jalil Farooq in their game against Missouri. Farooq, initially projected to miss six to eight weeks after foot surgery, has now been out for nine. Burks, who suffered a soft tissue injury, was previously a game-time decision against South Carolina, and his return is also anticipated. Venables’ updates suggest both players could rejoin the lineup if fully recovered, strengthening Oklahoma’s passing options.
Coach Brent Venables is being cautious with player recoveries. Deion Burks, who has 26 receptions, 201 yards, and three touchdowns in four games, is aiming for a return after a soft tissue injury. Jalil Farooq, who played once this season with a 47-yard catch, is also hopeful to rejoin after extended recovery from foot surgery. The Sooners will face Missouri on Nov. 9 at 7:45 p.m. ET.
