Per an OU press release, senior linebacker Caleb Kelly and redshirt freshman defensive tackle Jordan Kelley have both sustained “lower-body injuries” and will each be sidelined for an indefinite amount of time. Kelley (DT) has already undergone a surgical procedure, while Kelly (LB) still requires surgery.
Here’s Riley’s portion of the release:
“It’s a really tough deal for both Caleb and Jordan,” said Riley. “I guess if there’s a silver lining it’s the timing of the injuries with them occurring five months before the season. I know they’ll work their tails off to get back to the field as quickly as possible, and we’ll be there with them every step of the way”
It’s an unfortunate setback for both players, but particularly Caleb Kelly, who going into his senior season has yet to reach his potential after signing with the Oklahoma Sooners as a five-star high school recruit in 2016.
