OU football: Marquise Brown practices but Orange Bowl status remains uncertain

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley has been coy on Marquise Brown's status for the College Football Playoff semifinal against Alabama in the Orange Bowl on Saturday (7 p.m., ESPN).

Maybe Brown won't play in the game after suffering an ankle injury in the Big 12 Championship Game win over Texas, but he certainly looked like he was moving around effectively during the 15-minute open viewing period of Oklahoma's practice at Florida Atlantic University.

Brown didn't do any heavy cutting during the time when media were allowed to view, but none of the Sooners did, running routes at less than full speed.
