Initial injury report released for No. 1 Texas vs. Oklahoma

The initial SEC-mandated injury report for the upcoming matchup between the No. 1 Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners in the Cotton Bowl was released on Wednesday evening. Texas has several key players listed as probable for the game, including senior running back Hollywood Smothers, who missed a previous game with a lower-leg injury, and sophomore tight end Nick Townsend, who has been sidelined with a bone bruise in his knee since a game against Ohio State.

However, sophomore defensive lineman Justus Terry and sophomore wide receiver Kaliq Lockett are listed as doubtful, with Terry missing practice since sustaining a toe injury and Lockett being a new addition to the injury report. Oklahoma, on the other hand, has a more significant injury report, with four players listed as out, including transfer wide receiver Trell Harris, three players as doubtful, five as questionable, and one as probable.

The report confirms that Texas is a healthier team after the bye week, while Oklahoma faces a more significant challenge with their injured roster.
