Oklahoma football coach Brent Venables provided a concerning injury update on linebacker Kip Lewis following the team's 17-10 road loss to Michigan on Saturday. Lewis will miss some games after suffering a right knee injury during the match, as reported by Pete Nakos of On3 Sports. Lewis had been performing well in the game prior to the injury, which forced him to leave the field.

The primary concerns for Oklahoma continue on the offensive side, where quarterback John Mateer and his teammates struggled against Michigan's defense.

With an extension recently signed, head coach Venables faces the challenge of keeping his team competitive in the playoff race.
