Oklahoma star wide receiver questionable on initial injury report

.

The Oklahoma Sooners have been battling injuries at wide receiver all season. Deion Burks has missed the last two games for the Sooners, but is questionable heading into Oklahoma’s matchup with the South Carolina Gamecocks.

If Oklahoma’s leading receiver can find his way onto the field, it would be a huge boost for the Sooners offense.

Running back and kick returner Sam Franklin and backup tight end Kade McIntyre are also listed as questionable heading into this week’s matchup. If Franklin isn’t available to return kicks, that role could go to Billy Bowman, Peyton Bowen, Eli Bowen, or running back Taylor Tatum.

McIntyre has been limited to three games this season and played a season-high 11 snaps against Auburn, according to Pro Football Focus. With injuries at wide receiver, the Sooners have tried to work more two and three tight end sets.

On the South Carolina side, the Gamecocks appear fairly healthy. Wide receiver Jared Brown will miss this week’s action. He has eight receptions for 103 yards on the season.

Defensive lineman DeAndre Jules played against Ole Miss but missed last weekend’s game against Alabama. He’s been productive in a rotational role for a talented Gamecocks defensive line, playing as many as 25 snaps against Kentucky and 34 against LSU. He’ll miss his second straight game.
