OU football journal: Kelly out with sprained knee, WRs close to return

Freshman outside linebacker Caleb Kelly, a five-star recruit expected to see significant playing time this season for Oklahoma, has missed several practices this week with a knee sprain.

Sooners coach Bob Stoops characterized the injury as minor and said Kelly would likely be back practicing next week.

Wide receivers Dede Westbrook and Mykel Jones both missed the week of practice with injuries as well.

“They're close,” Stoops said. “I imagine they'll be back next week. That's what we're shooting for, and I believe they will be.”

While several Sooners have suffered minor injuries that have led to missed time, everyone who is out should be back in time for the Sept.
