Injury Update: Eldridge's sprained knee ligament: Tight end Brody Eldridge
suffered a sprained knee ligament injury after being tackled hard, Wilson said.
(Dallas Morning News) (4/8/07) Mild MCL Sprain: The injury is being reported as low grade
sprain. As bad as the hit
looked, Oklahoma tight end Brody Eldridge seems lucky to have come away with
only a sprain. In Saturday's Red-White game at Owen Field, Eldridge was hit hard
by linebackers Lewis Baker and Mike Reed, knocking him back and rolling his left
leg beneath him. Tests revealed only a mild MCL sprain as well as a high ankle
sprain. (NewsOK.com)

Stoops doesn't expect to makes
decision on QB till August: Bob
Stoops said a decision between Sam
Bradford, Joey Halzle and Keith Nichol
won't be made until one of the three
has clearly seized the job. One thing
working in the coaches' favor is a
recent history of intense
competitions. "I would guess it would
be sometime in August," Stoops said
after Saturday's Red-White scrimmage.
"When I feel a guy has earned it,
we'll say so. I think if you go
through eight years here, we have
named 'em all at different times. "I
mean it when I say (when) a guy has
earned it, we'll say so. This isn't
new territory for us. We've had four
Big 12 championships with four
different quarterbacks. So we're used
to this. Hopefully we'll get back to
another one with a different
quarterback." (NewsOK.com)

Walk-on Whitson makes a impact:
[Carter] Whitson, a walk-on who played
high school ball for his dad, Brent,
at Broken Arrow and Shawnee, did more
than enough to atone for the missed
block. He was OU's third-leading
receiver Saturday with two catches for
45 yards. (Tulsa

McCoy Practice Injury: Nose
guard Gerald McCoy was a late scratch
for the Red-White game. The ballyhooed
redshirt freshman has been practicing
with pain in his calf muscle, but when
he jumped over a lineman Thursday, he
landed wrong on his leg. "My calf
muscle kind of stretched out a little
bit, strained it a little bit," McCoy
said. "They said they were going to
see what happened this morning. Then
they said they were going to hold me
out, just let me rest a little bit." (NewsOK.com)

of the injury, which occurred Wednesday, was a partially torn LCL that would
require only four to six weeks of rehabilitation... Norman native Mossis Madu,
who has worked himself into some playing time both at running back and slot
receiver for the Sooners, suffered a high left ankle sprain Monday. (From NewsOK.com)
