Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and running back Samaje Perine have practiced since Tuesday, coach Bob Stoops announced Friday.

Running back Joe Mixon has practiced since Wednesday. All three are expected to play at Oklahoma State Saturday, Stoops said.

Mayfield was removed from OU's game against TCU last weekend at halftime with a concussion, when admitted to a headache after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from TCU linebacker Ty Summers.

Summers was ejected from the game and Mayfield proceeded to finish the second quarter — just over 13 minutes of game time.

Perine and Mixon both suffered ankle injuries in the second half against TCU, sprains which Stoops described as "very light." Despite his injury, Perine broke off 72-yard touchdown run to put the Sooners up 30-13.
