Deion Burks injury update: OU football receiver doubtful to play for Sooners vs Alabama

NORMAN — OU wide receiver Deion Burks is listed as doubtful in the initial SEC availability report released Wednesday evening.

The Sooners (5-5, 1-5 SEC) take on Alabama at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Two weeks ago vs. Missouri, Burks returned after missing five consecutive games. He had five catches for 44 yards, but was reinjured late in that game.

Jalil Farooq, who also returned vs. Missouri after a lengthy absence, was not listed in the injury report.

Running back Jovantae Barnes, who missed the loss to Missouri, is listed as questionable. Gavin Sawchuk, who hasn’t played since the early October loss to Texas, is also not on the injury report.

Here’s the full availability report for the Sooners’ matchup with the Crimson Tide:
