Michael Fasusi injury update: OU football OL making 'improvement'
Oklahoma left tackle Michael Fasusi missed his third consecutive game against Georgia. Brent Venables said his most recent scans showed improvement.
Athens, GA — Following Brent Venables' reassurance that Michael Fasusi's injury would be short-term, the Oklahoma left tackle missed his third straight game as the Sooners lost to Georgia, 41-13. Reports indicated Fasusi was ruled out immediately after the first availability announcement. Despite speculation about a prolonged absence, Venables provided positive news postgame, stating that Fasusi has shown improvement since recent scans.
The veteran offensive line faced significant challenges, with Fasusi potentially being their best player. The second-year Sooner played 11 games and started 10 last season, recording four sacks on 395 pass-blocking snaps according to Pro Football Focus. A potential return for Fasusi would greatly benefit an offensive unit searching for solutions.
