Two defensive ends will most likely not see the field this Saturday against Utah State.
Junior Frank Alexander was seen walking around campus Aug. 24 with a boot on his leg. A few days later, the coaching staff officially released Alexander’s injury as a high ankle sprain.
Coach Bob Stoops said Wednesday that Alexander will most likely not see time Saturday against the Aggies.
“I would say it’s doubtful for this week, but we’ll see,” Stoops said. “He was out there in pads and did some stuff today but it wasn’t real extensive.”
Stoops also said freshman standout Geneo Grissom will be sidelined for the Utah State game because of a stress fracture in his foot.
“He broke his foot last night and they were putting a pin in it today, so that will take awhile to overcome and he’s had it for quite awhile,” Stoops said.
Stoops said Grissom showed promise in camp and was due to see playing time despite being a true freshman.
If Alexander cannot play Saturday, the Sooners will rotate the remaining four defensive ends — Jeremy Beal, David King, Ronnell Lewis and R.J. Washington.
