Oklahoma Sooner's Notes and Articles

Marcus Walker dislocates shoulder: Oklahoma's sophomore cornerback, the only returning starter in the Sooners' secondary, suffered a dislocated left shoulder during Saturday's practice. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said the injury's severity wasn't known Saturday night. "It's back and functioning normal now," Stoops said. "But how long it will be 'til he's ready to go, we'll see. "Walker underwent surgery to repair a damaged right shoulder last January. Co-defensive coordinator Bobby Jack Wright, who coaches the secondary, admitted concern the talented sophomore might be prone to shoulder injuries. "You go, 'Oh, gosh, dog, he might have a problem with another one,'" Wright said. "Hopefully it isn't that and he can go on and rehab it and go. Hopefully, that won't be anything serious or extensive. But we won't know for a while." (NewsOK.com)

Keith Misses Practice: Offensive lineman Brandon Keith missed Saturday's practice for what coaches said were personal reasons. Keith is a junior from McAlester, by way of Northeastern. (NewsOK.com)

Peterson looks healthy look for him full contact Monday: The reports were correct. Despite being withheld from contact drills Saturday, Peterson appears healthy again. He looks bigger. And he appears at least as powerfully fast and shifty talented as before. All that said, we'll know more when the Sooners put on pads. Check the action in Monday night's scrimmage. Watch how Peterson runs with full-contact action. I suspect you'll see the same explosive talent Peterson had before the injury. Nothing so far has given anyone reason to suspect otherwise. If anything, he's shown signs of being at least as fast, and just as determined. Friday evening, as the Sooners practiced indoors on the artificial turf, Peterson lowered his shoulder and ran into a defender. The Sooners were wearing helmets, shirts and shorts. But Peterson clearly wasn't concerned about the shoulder. (NewsOK.com)

R. Smith to start if Walker not ready in scrimmage Monday: True freshman Reggie Smith replaced injured Marcus Walker Saturday, on first team defense. Look for Smith to start Monday's scrimmage if Marcus Walker is not ready. Bobby Jack Wright spoke highly on the freshman safety. "He's way ahead of any freshman I've seen for a long time," Wright said. "He looks like a veteran out there. I've seen enough of him. What the heck. He can play."
