The Sooners' head coach is optimistic about OU's players who were injured or missed the offseason and spring prac
DALLAS — Oklahoma coach Brent Venables offered a hopeful picture on Tuesday about the Sooners’ injury problems.
For Sooner Nation, there’s been a lot of focus on the health of wideout Andrel Anthony, who was leading the team in receiving yards last season when he went down with a knee injury in the sixth game. Transfer offensive lineman Geirean Hatchett, who arrived from Washington but had to miss time last spring, “has been great,” Venables said. “Has been working hard for a little over a month with the guys and fully released as well. I mean, He's big. He's powerful. He’s agile. Just a worker. Great mindset. Shows up every day ready to work and be a great teammate.”
And wide receiver Jalil Farooq, who has 89 career catches, 1,229 yards and seven touchdowns, missed the spring game with a broken foot. He’s still on the mend, the coach expressed.
