Report: Oklahoma WR Deion Burks likely out vs. Texas

Deion Burks

Deion Burks, a key piece of No. 18 Oklahoma’s offense as its leading receiver, is expected to miss Saturday’s Red River Rivalry game against No. 1 Texas with a soft tissue injury, ESPN reported on Thursday.

Burks, a Purdue transfer who leads the Sooners with 26 catches for 201 yards and three touchdowns in four games, is listed as questionable after missing the team’s win over Auburn on Sept. 28. He suffered the injury in Oklahoma’s loss to Tennessee on Sept. 21.

The Sooners will be short-handed at wide receiver as Jayden Gibson, Nic Anderson, Andrel Anthony and Jalil Farooq have been ruled out of Saturday’s game at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

J.J. Hester, who had three catches for 86 yards against Auburn, will help pick up the slack, along with Jaquaize Pettaway, Brenen Thompson and Zion Ragins, while cornerback Jacobe Johnson has switched positions to receiver.

Oklahoma will be without defensive backs Gentry Williams and Kendel Dolby but running back Taylor Tatum is expected to return after missing the Auburn game.
