Spencer Sanders is back to “full speed.”

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy updated his redshirt sophomore quarterback’s status at his weekly news conference Thursday morning, saying that Sanders and true freshman Shane Illingworth have split reps this week with junior college transfer Ethan Bullock working with the threes.

Gundy reiterated that Sanders could’ve played against Kansas last weekend if needed, but that it wasn’t worth the potential risk to play him on his injured ankle below 100 percent.

“If we needed to play him, he could’ve played really close to full speed,” Gundy said. “We know exactly where we’re at with him, but when you have an ankle injury, you’re always better letting it get 100 percent.
