Deion Burks is questionable for Texas

NORMAN — OU football hoped to use its bye week last week to answer some injury questions, and Texas hopes to get quarterback Quinn Ewers back before the Red River Rivalry.

If the no. 18 Sooners on Saturday against the No. 1 Longhorns, they will need as many healthy players as possible. The SEC released the first version of this week's student-athlete availability report on Wednesday evening.

Here is this week's first availability report for OU and Texas:

  • WR Jayden Gibson: Out
  • WR Jalil Farooq: Out
  • WR Nic Anderson: Out
  • WR Andrel Anthony: Out
  • DB Gentry Williams: Out
  • DB Kendel Dolby: Off
  • OL Geirean Hatchett: Out
  • WR Deion Burks: Questionable
  • TE Kade McIntyre: Questionable

Sooners wide receiver Deion Burks, who missed the Auburn game with a soft tissue injury, is considered questionable to play against the Longhorns.

“From a receiver standpoint, I feel good that we’ll have some guys back in a couple of weeks,” Venables said during his weekly coaching show on Monday. “We’ll see where Burks is here in the next few days.”

Ewers is listed as likely to be playable. The Longhorns' starting quarterback has missed the Longhorns' last two games with an abdominal strain.

Our true freshman running back Taylor Tatum was not listed in the report, meaning he is available to play. Tatum showed signs early on that he could be a consistent contributor, but also missed the game against the Tigers after leaving the Tennessee game with an injury.

SEC teams must file their reports on the Wednesday before a Saturday conference game and update them daily until 90 minutes before kickoff.
