The injury bug bit hard for OSU in nonconference play, with a number of skill players — including running back Dezmon Jackson — going down with ailments. But ahead of Baylor on Saturday the big-bodied back could be trending towards making a return to action.
Mike Gundy said Monday at his weekly radio show that Jackson, who last season was the team’s second-leading rusher behind Chuba Hubbard and led the team in yards per carry at 5.5, could potentially suit up Saturday as the Bears come to town. For Jackson, Gundy says, it may come down to what happens this week in practice.
