Jordan Thomas was punished and had to sit out Oklahoma's last game against Tulsa.

The sophomore cornerback apparently broke a team rule, but he has returned to practice and could start this week against West Virginia, when Oklahoma hosts the Mountaineers at 11 a.m. Saturday.

OU beat Tulsa 52-38, but Tulsa went on to pass for 427 yards. Thomas was replaced by freshman P.J< Mbanasor, who was exposed repeatedly and then replaced in the second half.

"He practiced well last week and should be in position to hopefully help us make a difference this week," coach Bob Stoops said of Thomas.
