Riley didn’t set a timetable for the the return of either defender, though he didn’t rule out both players being able to contribute to the team next season.
“I guess if there’s a silver lining it’s the timing of the injuries with them occurring five months before the season,” Lincoln Riley said in a press release. I know they’ll work their tails off to get back on the field as quickly as possible and we’ll be there every step of the way.”
The Sooners are still in the middle of installing a new defensive scheme under coordinator Alex Grinch.
