Oklahoma Football’s wide receivers have been demoted based on the latest injury report

Just when it seemed like everything was coming together on the injury front for the Oklahoma Sooners, at least a little bit, the Sooners downgraded Jalil Farooq to questionable.

The initial injury report didn’t even list Farooq, so his presence casts doubt on his availability for Saturday’s game against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Oklahoma doesn’t seem to be having any luck on the injury front, but that’s been the case all year.

Once again, the Sooners tend to be without their top five wide receivers against Alabama.

Here’s a look at the latest injury report.

Michael Tarquin injury update

After missing Oklahoma’s last two games against Maine and Missouri, it appears starting tackle Michael Tarquin will return to action this week after not landing on the initial injury report. Now the question becomes: will he take over at right or left tackle?

Jalil Farooq injury update

Jalil Farooq is recovering from a surgically repaired broken foot that he suffered in the first week. He appeared on a limited basis against Missouri two weeks ago. After initially not appearing on the injury report, Farooq was listed as questionable in Thursday’s update.

Deion Burk’s injury update

Deion Burks was downgraded to out for Saturday’s game against Alabama. He suffered a concussion in the second half of the Missouri game. Even though there are two weeks between games, there is no reason to rush Burks back from injury at this point in the season.

Jovantae Barnes injury update

Jovantae Barnes sprained his ankle during his 200-yard attempt against Maine and was forced to miss the game against Missouri. Although he is listed as questionable for this week, he has had two weeks of rest. Depending on how serious the initial injury was, he could return to action this week.

Gavin Sawchuk injury update

Running back Gavin Sawchuk was left off the injury report for Oklahoma’s game against Missouri but did not play. Instead, Taylor Tatum, Xavier Robinson and Sam Franklin, who got the running back snaps. Could Sawchuk be available this week to help the Sooners’ rushing attack?

Joshua Bates injury update

Joshua Bates was eliminated against Alabama on Saturday.
