OU football: Sooners' LB Devante Bond returns after four-game absence

NORMAN — Oklahoma senior linebacker Devante Bond's absence was felt on the Sooners' defense when he missed four consecutive games after suffering a high-ankle sprain against West Virginia.

But Bond finally returned Saturday night and tallied two tackles, including one for a loss, in Oklahoma's 52-16 win over Iowa State.

Bond discussed his absence, his return and the upcoming critical stretch for the Sooners in a Q&A with The Oklahoman.

Q: How's your ankle feel right now?

A: It's good (jumps). I'm jumping around. I'm OK.

How tough have the last few weeks been?
